Sunshine Blue Blueberry

✓ Verified
United States

Sunshine Blue is a southern highbush variety with a genuinely low chill requirement, estimated around 150 hours, and real cold hardiness despite that low-chill classification — an unusual combination that makes it adaptable across a wide range of climates. It is a compact, semi-dwarf, nearly evergreen bush notable for showy hot-pink flowers that fade to white in spring, good fall color, and self-fruitfulness, along with a documented tolerance for higher soil pH than most blueberry varieties typically handle well. I was not able to find a named breeder or specific release history for this variety. If you have a source for its background, it can be corrected with real information.
