Plant blueberry bushes in late April or early May, spacing them 3 to 4 feet apart (1 meter).
Here are some great sights for you:

A: Now!
I live in GA, but the weather isn't much different in MO [where my Mother is from...!] February is the right/best time for planting or separating blueberry plants. In fact, don't wait until Spring; Don't wait for March. Do it now.
Have FuN and enjoy those nutritious treats! [the birds will, also]
P.S. Don't take my word for it: check with your local Cooperative Extension Service. They're the best bet for getting the "skinny" on plant info for your region.

Check with the farms around marionville and aurora.They have intimate knowledge in this area. SW missouri is a very difficult growing area and local year-to-year success is trial and error. I believe that northern highbush varietyies are proven winners if precautions are taken when dry climatic conditions persist. I do believe that mid-spring planting in acid soil along with acid leaching mulches can result in substantle berry production by the third year if bee polination and good balance of male to female plants exists.

When your ground is not frozen anymore. It is good for plants to have their roots in the ground for a while before it is warm enough for the tops to be actively growing, it gives the roots a chance to grab on. Now all you have to do is find them.

You should plant them this spring after danger of frost is past. You will probably not get any berries off of them the first year.
