Blueberry - Sunshine Blue

Common Name: Sunshine Blue Blueberry

Description: The 'Sunshine Blue' Blueberry (Vaccinium corymbosum 'Sunshine Blue') is a semi-dwarf, evergreen shrub known for its compact size and ornamental appeal. In spring, it produces showy hot pink flowers that fade to white, leading to medium-sized, sweet berries with a tangy flavor. This variety is self-pollinating and requires only about 150 chill hours, making it suitable for both warmer and cooler climates. 'Sunshine Blue' thrives in full sun and well-drained, acidic soils, and it tolerates higher pH levels better than many other blueberries. Its compact growth habit makes it ideal for containers, small gardens, or as an attractive addition to ornamental landscapes.
