'Pink Lemonade' Blueberry Bush
- modern variety, first introduced in 2005 is undoubtedly one of the most distinctive, unusual blueberries out there.
- 'Pink Lemonade' produces delectably tangy, pink fruits that taste of – well, pink lemonade! – this blueberry bush will both turn heads and dazzle palates, alike.
- Rarely (let’s be real, never) found in supermarkets, this vigorous, self-fertile variety also produces wonderful bell-shaped, pinkish-white blooms in spring.
- Also known as ‘Pink Sapphire’, this blueberry bush can be grown in large patio pots, on sunny balconies and in raised beds with ericaceous compost.
- The berries and blooms contrast beautifully with the bush’s lush green foliage, which itself takes on fiery hues of gold and bronze come autumn.
