Blueberry 'Sunshine Blue'


An excellent, evergreen blueberry growing to a height of approx 1-1.5m and width of 1m. The sturdy plants are upright in habit and in spring produce a delightful floral display of hot pink flowers that are self-polinating. High yields of plump, sweet blueberries follow flowers, maturing in summer.



Care


Mulch well to retain moisture. Both are suited to colder areas of Australia. Prune old stems and dead wood at end of winter. Great for growing in tubs and sheltered sun to part shade position.
