Pink Lemonade Blueberry Plant – Sweet, Blush-Pink Berries That Steal the Show! 💗🫐

The Pink Lemonade Blueberry (Vaccinium spp.) turns the classic blueberry experience on its head with stunning rosy-pink fruit that’s incredibly sweet, aromatic, and irresistible right off the bush. A true landscape showstopper, it produces bell-shaped pink-white blooms in spring, blush-pink berries in summer, and vibrant orange-red foliage in fall. Compact, productive, and ornamental—this is the berry bush that does it all.

Thrives in USDA Zones: 4–9 (performs best in mild to warm climates)
Approximate Chill Hours: 300–500 for reliable fruit set

🌸 Pollination & Fruit Production

Partially Self-Fertile: Will fruit on its own, but cross-pollination with other rabbiteye types (e.g., Vernon, Brightwell, Climax) increases yield and berry size.

Ripening Window: Mid to late season—typically June through August, depending on climate.

🌳 How to Plant & Grow Pink Lemonade Blueberry

📍 Best Planting Location

Sun: Full sun (6–8+ hours daily) for maximum bloom and fruit.
Soil: Well-draining, acidic (pH 4.5–5.5); amend with pine bark/peat for acidity.
Spacing: Plant bushes 4–5 ft apart; rows 8–10 ft apart.

🌱 Step-by-Step Planting Instructions

Prep the Site: Test soil pH; incorporate peat moss or finely ground pine bark to lower pH and improve drainage.
Dig the Hole: Twice as wide as the root ball and the same depth.
Set the Plant: Position with the crown level to the surrounding soil.
Backfill & Water: Backfill with amended soil, firm gently, and water thoroughly to settle roots.
Mulch: Apply Weed Pro Weed Mats or 2–3" of pine straw/bark to conserve moisture and suppress weeds.

🌿 Ongoing Care & Maintenance

💧 Watering: Keep evenly moist, especially during bloom and fruiting. Deep water 2x per week in dry spells.
✂️ Pruning: After harvest, remove weak or old canes; encourage new, vigorous shoots for next season’s crop.
🍂 Fertilizing: Use Nutra-Pro 1st Year Fertilizer Paks at planting; thereafter, feed lightly with acid-loving fertilizer in early spring.
🛡️ Protection: Max Growth Berry Shelters help shield young plants from heat, wind, and browsing.
