This early-season, low-chill variety requires just 200 chill hours, making it an excellent choice for gardeners in warmer climates. Rabbiteye blueberries are known for their vigor, heat tolerance, and long lifespan, and Pink Lemonade is no exception—growing into a productive shrub about 5–6 feet tall. The berries are exceptionally sweet, often described as nearly twice as sweet as traditional blueberries, with a subtle tropical twist and firm, juicy texture perfect for fresh eating, baking, smoothies, and desserts. While Pink Lemonade is self-fertile, planting a second Pink Lemonade or another rabbiteye variety will increase fruit size and yields. This variety thrives in full sun and well-drained, acidic soil, produces beautiful white-to-pink spring flowers, and continues fruiting well into fall, making it a standout edible and ornamental plant for any fruit garden.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIdeal Growing Conditions\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eUSDA Hardiness Zones:\u003c\/strong\u003e 5-9\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv aria-expanded=\"false\" aria-controls=\":244\" aria-owns=\":244\" spellcheck=\"false\" aria-multiline=\"true\" role=\"textbox\" aria-label=\"Message Body\" class=\"Am aiL Al editable LW-avf tS-tW tS-tY\" id=\":21g\" tabindex=\"1\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCold Chill Hour Requirement: \u003c\/strong\u003eThis variety is considered a low chill hour blueberry.

Use a mix rich in organic matter, such as peat moss, pine bark fines, composted pine needles, or an acid-loving plant mix designed for blueberries, azaleas, or camellias. Avoid heavy clay or poorly draining soils, as blueberries have shallow roots that are sensitive to standing water. Adding mulch like pine straw or wood chips helps maintain soil acidity, retain moisture, and keep roots cool. If the soil pH rises too high, the roots become nutrient locked, meaning the plant can no longer absorb essential nutrients—this causes yellowing leaves, poor growth, and can eventually lead to plant decline. Using a soil acidifier helps maintain the proper pH and prevent this issue. Many gardeners find blueberries are easier to grow in large containers filled with acidic, acid-loving plant soil, which makes maintaining the correct pH much more manageable.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWater:\u003c\/strong\u003e Monitor young plants and keep consistent water. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow and When to Fertilize: \u003c\/strong\u003eBlueberries must be grown in acidic soil to stay healthy and productive.

Remove any dead, damaged, or crossing branches, and thin out a few of the oldest canes to encourage fresh, productive growth. In the first year or two, pruning should be minimal—focus on letting the plant establish strong roots and structure before heavier pruning in later years.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Jerrasgarden","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47960763171041,"sku":"PLANTS083","price":14.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0650\/4012\/2081\/files\/pink_lemonade_blueberry_plant_1.jpg?v=1770767046","url":"https:\/\/www.jerrasgarden.com\/products\/pink-lemonade-blueberry-live-plant","provider":"Jerra's Garden","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
