Sweet Harvests Start with Sunshine Blue
Enjoy homegrown blueberries without needing a large garden. Sunshine Blue Blueberry is a compact, semi-dwarf variety that fits beautifully into small landscapes, raised beds, and patio containers while producing generous crops of sweet, tangy berries. Its evergreen foliage, colorful spring blooms, and manageable size make it just as ornamental as it is productive.
One of the few self-pollinating blueberry varieties, Sunshine Blue is an excellent choice if you only have room for a single plant. In spring, clusters of hot pink flowers fade to white before giving way to dime-sized blueberries that ripen over an impressive 9-week harvest season. For the richest flavor, allow the berries to remain on the plant until they develop a deep purple color.
Sunshine Blue also stands out for its adaptability. It tolerates higher soil pH than most blueberries, has a low chilling requirement of just 150 hours, and thrives across a wide range of climates. Growing just 3 to 4 feet tall with a naturally dense, highly branched habit, it's easy to tuck into nearly any sunny space.
