Blueberry Spacing

This will be my first time growing blueberry bushes, and I'm hoping I won't mess anything up! I've put together a 4x8 raised bed with great drainage, and added soil acidifier since our soil is nowhere near acidic. We're getting 2 cultivars of blueberry, tifblue and climax. These will be against the south wall of the home and will be a foundation planting. I am not concerned about whether they grow into one another and make a hedge, but I definitely don't want to plant them too closely and stunt growth. I've tried to find resources to identify the planting distance for those particular cultivars, and I'm falling short. As of right now we'll have 6-8 plants total. I'm really thinking not all of them will fit into the bed I've made. Thankfully, the plants haven't arrived yet, but I'm hoping you can help me gain some info before they get here so I don't do any damage! Thank you!
