The Sunshine Blue Blueberry is a unique blueberry that only grows about 3 feet tall yet carries a big crop of large berries. It will grow in soil that is only slightly acidic, and its small size makes it perfect for growing in containers and planters. It is hardy all across the country, from zone 5 to zone 10, and it is especially suitable for very warm places with warm winters, since it needs just a few hours of chilling to develop properly. As well, it has beautiful pink flowers instead of the usual white ones, earning it a place in the flower garden. Enjoy flowers and fruit on a beautiful bush that is very easy to grow almost everywhere.
The Sunshine Blue Blueberry prefers acid soil, but it is more tolerant of neutral soils than other blueberry varieties. Because of this it expands the areas where these delicious fruits can be grown. The best blueberries are ripened on the bush, so growing your own is the only way to enjoy that best. Grow this plant in sun or partial shade. It is entirely self-fertile, so you don’t even need to grow a second variety to have a big crop of delicious, deep-blue berries for the table or the kitchen. Surplus berries can be stored in the freezer for months.
