Blueberry - (ZF06-079) Pink Icing™

Common Name:
Pink Icing™ blueberry

Description:
Blueberry ‘Pink Icing™’ is a compact, ornamental and productive blueberry variety admired for its colourful foliage and delicious fruit. This attractive evergreen to semi-evergreen shrub produces glossy green leaves with flushes of pink, blue and burgundy new growth, giving it outstanding ornamental value throughout the year. In spring, it bears clusters of small white to pale pink bell-shaped flowers, followed by sweet, medium-sized blueberries in summer. Its naturally tidy habit makes it especially well suited to pots, courtyard gardens, edible borders, and decorative productive planting. In Melbourne, it performs best in full sun to part shade with acidic, well-drained soil and regular moisture. It is an excellent choice for gardeners wanting both edible harvests and year-round visual appeal in a compact form.
