About the Pink Lemonade Blueberry Plant

Pink Lemonade Blueberry plants are a unique and exciting addition to the world of fruit-bearing shrubs. These delightful plants are prized for their distinct pink berries, which stand out from the traditional blueberries found in most gardens.

Developed in 1996 as a Rabbiteye x Highbush cross, Pink Lemonade Blueberry plants (Vaccinium ‘Pink Lemonade’) are known for their stunning appearance. The most notable feature of these plants is their pink berries, which is quite unusual for blueberry varieties. These berries start out green, then gradually transition to a pale pink hue before ripening to a darker pink or even a deep purplish-red color. The contrast of the pink berries against the green foliage makes Pink Lemonade Blueberry plants a visually striking addition to any garden.

About the Pink Berries

The flavor of Pink Lemonade Blueberries lives up to their name. These berries have a sweet and slightly tart taste, reminiscent of traditional blueberries but with a subtle citrusy twist. Some describe the flavor as having hints of lemon, making them a refreshing and unique treat.

Pink Lemonade Blueberries typically ripen in late summer to early fall. You can harvest them once they turn a deep pink or purplish-red color and are easily plucked from the bush.

Growing Pink Lemonade Blueberry Plants

Aside from their delicious and eye-catching berries, Pink Lemonade Blueberry plants also have ornamental value. They produce delicate, bell-shaped, white or pinkish flowers in spring, adding to their aesthetic appeal. These shrubs can be used in landscaping to create beautiful hedges, borders, or even as standalone ornamental plants.

To successfully grow Pink Lemonade Blueberry plants, ensure they receive ample sunlight, and maintain acidic soil with a pH of 4.5 to 5.5. Keep the soil consistently moist without overwatering. While these cold-hardy plants are self-fertile, consider planting multiple bushes to enhance fruit production through cross-pollination.
