Vaccinium Sunshine Blue (Highbush Blueberry)

Both edible and ornamental, Vaccinium 'Sunshine Blue' (Highbush Blueberry) is a compact, rounded deciduous shrub, with small oval silvery green leaves turning attractive shades of red and purple in the fall. In late spring, masses of pink flowers give way to abundant clusters of medium to small, delicious, sweet and juicy, dark blue blueberries which ripen in mid-season (early to mid-summer). More tolerant than most blueberries of high pH but this shrub does prefer slightly acidic well-drained soil. Perfect for small gardens or containers.
