In late Spring, its compact frame is smothered in a profusion of delicate, bright pink, bell-shaped flowers that transition into heavy crops of sweet, tangy, medium-to-large blueberries through mid-to-late Summer. Unlike traditional highbush blueberries that can prove finicky, 'Sunshine Blue' is remarkably versatile, exhibiting higher tolerance for neutral soils and possessing a very low chill requirement (around 150 hours). Its neat habit, silver-blue foliage, and vibrant autumn tones make it an ideal candidate for container growing, edible landscaping, and small garden spaces.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eSite: \u003c\/b\u003eTolerates some exposure\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSoil:\u003c\/b\u003e Light, moist, well-drained, acid soil (4.5-5.5) Performs well in containers using ericaceous compost; more tolerant of slightly higher pH levels than most varieties\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePosition:\u003c\/b\u003e Best in full sun; tolerates partial shade\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePick: \u003c\/b\u003eJuly-August \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eKeep:\u003c\/b\u003e Up to 10 days when refrigerated \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eHardiness:\u003c\/b\u003e Fully hardy\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePollination:\u003c\/b\u003e Self-fertile, but crops better with a different blueberry cultivar\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eUses:\u003c\/b\u003e Eating fresh, cooking, preserving, freezing\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eImage by \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/flickr.com\/photos\/dorseymw\/\"\u003eMichele Dorsey Walfred\u003c\/a\u003e cropped, and licensed under \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/creativecommons.org\/licenses\/by\/2.0\/\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eCC BY 2.0\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Future Forests","offers":[{"title":"Pot | 5L","offer_id":54859044127047,"sku":null,"price":30.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0617\/2750\/6590\/files\/BlueberrySunshineBlue.jpg?v=1788364051","url":"https:\/\/futureforests.ie\/products\/blueberry-sunshine-blue","provider":"Future Forests","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
