Pink Lemonade Blueberry Shrub

The Pink Lemonade (Vaccinium ‘Pink Lemonade’) is a unique blueberry bush hybrid called rabbiteye. There are four types of blueberry plants: northern highbush, southern highbush, rabbiteye, and lowbush. Northern highbush blueberries are hardy in USDA Zones 4 through 7 and bear large fruits. Southern highbush blueberries bear large fruits while hardy in Zones 7 through 10. Lowbush blueberries, bearing smaller fruits, have more of a groundcover growth habit and are popular in colder zones. Rabbiteye varieties are more compact and can be grown in most zones except those with extreme temperatures. They are an upright bush with a relatively shallow, fibrous root system and woody canes. Fruit is borne on buds formed during the previous growing season in late summer. Highbush blueberry plants leaf, flower, and fruit in June. They are used as hedges, shrub borders, beautiful ornamentals or for wildlife.
