Noteworthy Characteristics
Sunshine Blue is a new dwarf selection that does not require a pollinator! But the great attributes don't stop there. It is a dwarf with a rounded, semi-dwarf form only 3- to 4-feet high and wide, making it a great choice for containers that can be set on patios, proches or decks for easy picking. The glossy silvery-green leaves are semi-evergreen and turn to a vidi purple-red in fall. In spring, masses of pink flowers (instead of the white typical of Blueberries) are followed by lots of tasty, blue berries. Each established plant produces from 5 to 10 pounds of delicious, sweet and juicy, dime-size, dark blue berries.
Because it's self-pollinating, which means you only need one plant, and more tolerant than most of high pH, 'Sunshine Blue' is an exceptionally easy plant to grow. It's a southern highbush type requiring only 150 chillhours so is perfect for the South. That being said, it's hardy as far north as Chicago and New York!
Uses
Sunshine Blue makes for a perfect landscape or patio plant, as a low hedge, in groupings, as an accent plant.
Culture & Care Tips
Providing enough water to keep the soil moist but not wet, a little spring fertilizer, and some light pruning in winter is all Sunshine Blue needs to perform well.
