Blueberry Pink Icing 180MM
Blueberry ‘Pink Icing™’ – 180MM
(Not currently available to be ordered)
I am Pink Icing™ Blueberry. My family originated from North America
I am prized for my showy foliage and large edible robust flavoured berries.
My spring foliage has many shades of pink mixed with blue and deep greens and turns a stunning iridescent turquoise blue in winter. I am a variety ideal in decorative pots or plant me out. I provide year-round colour and beauty. I am evergreen when planted in a warmer aspect and semi deciduous in cooler areas. I prefer acidic (low pH 4.5 to 5.5) soils or potting mixes (which might be labelled as also suited to Roses, Gardenia and Azaleas). For best fruiting I need 500 chill hours suiting me to areas south of Brisbane. |
Full Sun (6+ hours of direct sun) | |
Height: 1m Width: 1m | |
I need moderate water. Give me a drink when the top of my soil starts feels dry. I dislike wet conditions | |
Great for Pots | |
I perform well in most free draining soils but do best in those that are fertile with an acid pH (4.5 – 5.5) |
I am popular and will make you happy because… |
