1 Quart Potted. Item #135146

Description

Bushel and Berry® Pink Icing® Blueberry earns a spot in the garden twice over — once for the fruit, and once for the foliage. In spring, the new growth emerges in a striking combination of coral-pink and turquoise that’s genuinely unlike any other blueberry or common landscape shrub — a tropical-looking color burst that makes it an immediate conversation piece in the patio garden. Through summer the foliage deepens to green while the large, sweet, firm blueberries ripen in mid-July. Then in fall the leaves shift again, this time to soft lavender-pink, before the cycle begins again next spring. Compact at 3–4 feet, thrives in containers, self-pollinating, and productive within 1–2 years of planting in Zones 5–10.

May be covered by USPP #23,336 or other patents. ZF06-079 cultivar.

Pink and Turquoise Spring Foliage — Unlike Anything Else in the Garden

The spring color display is genuinely extraordinary. The new growth that emerges in spring is a vivid mix of coral-pink and turquoise simultaneously — warm and cool tones together in the same leaf — creating a tropical, eye-catching appearance that most gardeners have never seen on a blueberry or any common garden shrub. This is not a subtle pastel blush. It’s a bold, vivid color statement that earns attention from across the yard. If you’ve been looking for something genuinely different for a patio container or mixed border, this is it.

Lavender Fall Foliage — Four Seasons of Interest

The spring show gets most of the attention, but Pink Icing® doesn’t stop there. The fall foliage transition to soft lavender-pink adds a third distinct color season to the plant’s annual display — giving it genuine ornamental value through spring, summer (green with ripening fruit), fall, and then the promise of the spring show again. Few plants this compact deliver this much seasonal color change.

Large Sweet Berries in Mid-July — Container-Ready

The blueberry production is real and substantial — large, firm, juicy, sweet berries ripening in mid-July from a compact 3–4 foot plant that thrives in a container with quality acidic potting mix. Container growing means patios, balconies, and urban gardens can enjoy homegrown blueberries without a dedicated garden bed. Bears fruit within 1–2 years of planting.
