Vaccinium 'Pink Lemonade'
FIRST EVER - PINK BLUEBERRY!! Here's a sweet treat to delight both the eye and the palate. The delicious berries add sweetness and delectable color to desserts. It really does taste like blueberries & lemonade!!
Bred by the USDA, this beautiful fruiting shrub serves as an attractive ornamental with white-pink flowers in spring and crisp red-orange foliage in autumn.
Pink Lemonade is Self-Pollinating (but will produce a heavier crop if Cross-Pollinated w/Legacy, Jubilee, Bluecrop or Peach Sorbet)
Berries ripen mid- to late season. * Deer May Browse *
