Description:
Sunshine Blue, a versatile dwarf blueberry, is ideal for container gardening and small spaces. With a height and spread of 2-3 feet, it's perfect for limited areas. Its blue-green leaves add ornamental value, complemented by pinkish-white bell-shaped flowers in spring, evolving into clusters of small, juicy blueberries.
Growing Tips:
Sunlight: Thrives in full sun or partial shade.
Soil: Requires moist, well-drained soil or ericaceous compost in pots. Good drainage is crucial.
Watering: Keep consistently well-watered with rainwater for slightly acidic conditions.
Pruning: Minimal pruning in the first two years, then prune a quarter of branches annually from the third year in late winter.
Bird Protection: Cover plants to safeguard berries from birds.
Flowering and Fruiting:
Sunshine Blue offers pinkish-white spring flowers and abundant, medium-sized blueberries, delivering a delightful harvest.
Pollination Partners:
While partially self-fertile, planting additional varieties enhances yield. Consider Blueberry Bluecrop, Chandler, Liberty, Northland, Earliblue, and Pink Lemonade for improved productivity.
Enjoy the Beauty and Bounty:
Embrace the compact size, ornamental appeal, and delicious fruit of Vaccinium 'Sunshine Blue.' Whether in full bloom or laden with berries, it brings beauty and bounty to your garden.
May be susceptible to honey fungus (rarely), powdery mildews, root rot and chlorosis due to iron and manganese deficiency; see nutrient deficiencies. Blueberries are generally healthy and trouble-free, as long as they’re grown in suitably acidic soil or ericaceous potting compost, and kept well watered throughout the growing season. They need protection in very cold spells in winter, especially when grown in containers, and from frosts while in flower in spring. Make sure the fruits are protected from birds too, with netting or a fruit cage.
