Blueberries are handsome upright, dense shrubs with arching shoots and elliptical leaves that emerge bronze, mature to dark green, and change to yellow or red in autumn. Tiny, white, urn-shaped flowers are followed by edible, sweet blue-black berries in mid- to late-spring. Shrubs can be used for hedges or borders. 'Sunshine Blue' is a mid-season fruiting Southern highbush variety that requires 150 chill hours. This semi-dwarf, evergreen bush tolerates more soil alkalinity than most other blueberries.
When does the Sunshine Blue Blueberry Bush produce fruit?
This variety produces sweet, medium-sized blueberries in late spring to early summer. It’s known for reliable yields and beautiful pink blooms before the berries form.
Does the Sunshine Blue Blueberry Bush need a pollinator?
Sunshine Blue is self-pollinating, but planting another southern highbush variety nearby—like Misty or O’Neal—can increase fruit production.
Can the Sunshine Blue Blueberry Bush grow in containers?
Yes! It’s an excellent choice for containers or raised beds. Use acidic, well-draining soil and keep the soil consistently moist but not soggy.
What kind of sunlight and climate does it need?
Sunshine Blue thrives in full sun to light shade and grows best in USDA zones 5–10. It tolerates warmer climates better than most other blueberry varieties.
