There are two issues. 1st, several of the hybrids require a different hybrid of the same subspecies to produce a significant amount of fruit. A nursery grower will sometimes list appropriate pollinators on the tag they generate for the nursery. 2nd, all blueberries benefit from multiple plants -- why, I'm not sure. It is a known practice.

The Sharps Blue (aka Sharpsblue) do well in multiple plantings of itself here in southern California. It ranks among the best in blind taste tests.
