About Sunshine Blue
Sunshine Blue is a compact southern highbush blueberry with a low chill requirement and attractive blue-green foliage. It is often grown in containers or small gardens, and the berries are medium sized with good flavor.
Growing Sunshine Blue Blueberry
Keep the soil acidic even in containers, and do not let pots dry out in summer. It is more ornamental than many blueberries, but still benefits from annual thinning of weak or crowded shoots.
