Shrubs

Blueberries ‘Pink Lemonade’ NEW!

This is an amazing new blueberry with honest to goodness PINK blueberries! They are a cross between Rabbiteye blueberries and Highbush blueberries (it's actually a smidge more technical than that but we won't go there). While 'Pink Lemonade' doesn't have to have a pollinator berry production is notably higher when other Rabbiteye cultivars are planted in the vicinity. And with all of the positive health benefits of blueberries, and the 'salad enhancing' potential of these pink berries, these Pink Lemonade bushes are nothing but a fun investment for the future!

Blooms occur during fall when not much color is available and begin a nice creamy white while fading to a strong light pink! A must have for any serious gardener! Supplies are VERY limited.
