Pink Lemonade Blueberry Shrub

Pink Lemonade Blueberry Shrub (Vaccinium ‘Pink Lemonade’) is a unique hybrid blueberry variety prized for its showstopping pink fruit and sweet, mild flavor. Unlike traditional blueberries, this variety produces glossy, blush-pink berries that are firm, juicy, and perfect for fresh eating, baking, or garnishing desserts. Beyond its novelty fruit, Pink Lemonade also adds ornamental beauty to the garden with glossy green summer foliage that turns golden in fall. Compact and highly decorative, it performs well in borders, edible landscapes, or containers, offering both beauty and delicious harvests.

Growing Pink Lemonade Blueberry Shrub

Light: Requires full sun to partial sun for best berry color, sweetness, and strong plant growth.

Soil: Needs acidic, well-drained soil (pH 4.5–5.5). Amend with peat moss or organic matter to maintain acidity and fertility.

Water: Keep soil evenly moist; water deeply and regularly, especially during fruit development. Use mulch to conserve moisture and stabilize soil pH.

Fertilizer: Apply an acid-loving fertilizer in early spring and again after harvest to support healthy foliage and berry production.

Pollination: Self-fertile, but yields are improved when planted with another blueberry variety for cross-pollination.

Maintenance: Minimal pruning required; thin older stems in late winter to encourage vigorous new growth.

Hardiness: Best suited to USDA zones 5–10. Harvest mid- to late summer, when berries ripen to their distinctive and beautiful pink color.
