Blueberry 'Pink Lemonade' (Vaccinium corymbosum 'Pink Lemonade')
Introducing the Pink Lemonade Blueberry, a sensational addition to both your garden and kitchen. This remarkable variety boasts profuse, bell-shaped, pinkish-white flowers that transform into striking deep pink fruit come late summer. The unique, large berries are not only firm and flavorful but also perfect for fresh eating, fruit salads, and toppings. Hardy in Zones 4 through 8 (and sometimes 9), Pink Lemonade thrives in cold climates and mild winters. In spring, its pinkish white flowers attract butterflies, eventually giving way to a bountiful mid-summer harvest of pinkish-red berries, followed by a smaller crop through October. Gardeners and fruit enthusiasts praise Pink Lemonade Blueberries for their exceptionally sweet taste, often described as twice as sweet as regular blueberries, all while offering the same antioxidant benefits.
Beyond its delicious yield, the Pink Lemonade Blueberry is a visual delight, featuring glossy foliage that transitions from golden yellow to bright orange and deep burgundy in fall. Developed in 1996 as a Rabbiteye x Highbush cross, this compact plant grows 4 to 5 feet tall and wide. The berries, with a subtle citrusy twist reminiscent of lemon, provide a refreshing and unique flavor profile. Spice up your garden and kitchen with this stunning and delicious addition.
