Blueberry Pink Breeze Icing Pot 17cm

Blueberry bushes can be evergreen or deciduous shrubs that have bell-shaped flowers that can be white, pink or red, followed by 5-16 mm. berries that start green, turn reddish-purple, and, when ripe, dark purple, with a "bloom". They will only thrive in acidic soil, so if your soil is neutral or alkaline, either increase the acidity by adding sulphur chips, or acidic organic matter (such as pine-needles or composted conifer cuttings), or grow in containers, using ericaceous compost. 'Pink Icing' is a new variety with young foliage of pink mixed with blue and deeper greens transition in winter to a turquoise blue. The large, sweet berries with robust flavour ripen mid-season.
