Browse currently available varieties →Pink Lemonade Blueberry (Vaccinium 'Pink Lemonade') is a compact, ornamental blueberry shrub prized for its uniquely colored fruit and sweet flavor. Unlike traditional blueberries, its berries mature to an attractive deep pink, offering a visually striking contrast against glossy green foliage. This variety typically reaches about 4-5 feet in both height and spread, making it an excellent choice for smaller gardens or container growing.
In terms of growing conditions, Pink Lemonade Blueberry thrives in USDA hardiness zones 4 to 8. It prefers a sunny spot, ideally full sun to at least partial shade, to ensure robust fruit production. The plant requires well-drained, acidic soil with a pH between 4.5 and 5.5, which is critical for optimal nutrient uptake. Regular watering is essential, especially during the establishment phase; however, care should be taken to avoid waterlogging, which can lead to root rot. Although the shrub is self-fertile, planting another blueberry variety nearby may enhance pollination and yield.
In addition to its ornamental appeal, the Pink Lemonade Blueberry is valued for its delicious, nearly twice-as-sweet berries that are ideal for fresh eating, baking, or making preserves. Its compact size and manageable growing requirements make it a popular choice for home gardeners seeking both beauty and bounty in their fruit gardens.

How we ship
Most orders go out via UPS with a 2-3 day transit time to most of the continental U.S. Plants are shipped dormant in late winter / early spring, packed wet to protect the root systems, and bundled by variety so they're ready to plant on arrival.
Hawaii & Alaska orders
For HI and AK addresses we ship via USPS. The other major carriers either don't service these areas for live plants or charge prohibitive rates that would more than double the cost of your order. USPS gives us a reliable, affordable path to get plants to you in good condition.
