Vaccinium x 'Sunshine Blue' ~ Sunshine Blue Blueberry ornamental grass (4) Photo by Doug McGradySunshine Blue Blueberry is a dwarf native deciduous shrub that produces small, but sweet edible blue berries that ripen in mid to late summer. Its elliptical blue green foliage turns shades of coppery red in fall. The loose pendulous clusters of attractive pink to white spring flowers give way to the signature berries. Grows best with full sun and rich, moist well drained acidic soils. While self fertile, cross pollination will produce a better crop.
