Description

Vaccinium 'Sunshine Blue'

A new dwarf blueberry that reaches a maximum height and spread of 2-3ft and is ideal for container growing. Produces pretty bright pink flowers that fade to white and heavy crops of medium sized berries. Far more reliable than other dwarf types. Semi-evergreen. Excellent flavour.

RHS Perfect for Pollinators


Pollination: Self-fertile.


Season: Aug/Sept.


 

Blueberries are very expensive to buy in the shops, yet they are easy to grow and once established will crop reliably year after year. As well as being suitable for growing in the open ground (they do require an acid soil), they are perfect for growing in containers (using an ericaceous compost). With pretty white bell shaped spring flowers, succulent summer fruits and brilliant autumn foliage, they make exceptionally good patio plants. Blueberries are self-fertile but it is best to plant two different varieties to improve pollination. Plant 1.2-1.5m (4-5ft) apart.

 

Please note - where we quote a height on despatch, this is measured from the base of the pot.
