Sunshine Blue Blueberry

Contact your local store to check availability

Hot pink flowers fade to white and yield abundant crops of large tangy fruit with as few as 150 hours of chill. A contained, semi-dwarf shrub good for large tubs. Self pollinating but best yields when planted with another variety. Semi-evergreen.
