Sunshine Blue is a semi-dwarf, self-fertile blueberry plant that is perfect for anyone looking for a versatile plant that produces delicious berries. This plant is known for its showy hot pink flowers that fade to white in spring, and it yields a large crop of medium-sized, sweet, and dark blue berries. Sunshine Blue fruits from December to January, while its flowers bloom from October to November. This plant is a great addition to patios and gardens in cooler areas. Apply a complete fertiliser in spring.
Soil: Prefers an acidic soil with a pH of 4.5-5.5. Before planting, improve the soil by adding decomposed manure and compost. This is especially important in clay soils, as blueberries prefer a free-draining soil high in organic matter.
Conditions: Sunny position that is protected from wind. It requires 150 hours of winter chill, making it an ideal choice for the subtropics.
Size: Height 1.2m x width 1.2m
