Pink Lemonade Blueberry

The Pink Lemonade Blueberry is a fantastic new development in blueberries, which combines the terrific taste of blueberries with a beautiful pink color that makes a real impact. It is fabulous for fruit salads and for ‘stain-free’ muffins and pancakes. It grows best in zones 6 or warmer and with just a little care will give you baskets of berries every summer. If you already grow blueberries this new plant makes a great addition to your collection and will give color variety to your harvest. With its attractive pale-pink flowers, bright berries and red fall colors it makes a wonderful ornamental plant too.

• Richly-flavored bright pink berries
• Self-fertile, so a single bush carries fruit
• Grow in pots if you don’t have acid soil
• Beautiful flowers and fall color too
• Grow your own and freeze the surplus for later

Plant your Pink Lemonade Blueberry bushes in full sun, or with at least 6-8 hours of direct sun in summer. Blueberries grow in acid soils, but if you don’t have the right soil you can easily grow them in pots, so you can still enjoy this bush whatever kind of soil you have. Use compost for acid-loving plants, and if possible, water with rain-water. Older plants should be pruned in late winter by removing a few of the oldest branches – its easy to do. This variety is self-fertile, and it will bear a good crop if you grow it alone, but a bigger one if you plant a Rabbiteye Blueberry nearby.
