The Pink Lemonade Blueberry, a unique and visually stunning cultivar, offers gardeners the delightful twist of pink berries instead of the traditional blue.

Plants are supplied in 1 liter containers with 6-12" of top growth.
Plant Characteristics
Growth Habit
'Pink Lemonade' blueberries exhibit an upright growth habit, reaching heights and spreads of 4 to 5 feet. This makes them a suitable addition to various garden settings, from mixed shrub borders to low hedges or even as standalone ornamental plants in containers.
Flowering and Ripening
Springtime sees this plant adorned with pinkish-white, bell-shaped flowers, leading to pale green berries that mature into a deep, vibrant pink. The bushes are known for their extended production period, yielding a larger crop in mid to late summer and continuing to produce until around October
Fruit Attributes
Size, Color, and Flavor
The berries stand out with their bright pink hue and medium size, offering a flavor profile that is reportedly twice as sweet as standard blueberries. This makes them not only a unique visual addition to the garden but also a delicious treat for fresh eating, baking, and more
Geographical Suitability
Thriving in full sun to partial shade, 'Pink Lemonade' requires acidic or sandy soil conditions and is hardy in USDA zones 4 to 8. While it is self-fertile, cross-pollination with another rabbiteye variety can enhance fruit yield and size.
