Blueberry 'Pink Lemonade' (Vaccinium corymbosum 'Pink Lemonade')

Bright Pink Berries with a Tangy-Sweet Pop of Lemon Flavor

Pink Lemonade Blueberry (Vaccinium 'Pink Lemonade') is one of the most stunning and unique blueberry cultivars available—producing eye-catching, bubblegum-pink berries with a flavor that’s both sweet and slightly citrusy, just like its namesake. This variety is a hybrid between traditional rabbiteye and southern highbush blueberries, making it ideal for warm southern climates and backyard gardeners seeking bold color and great taste.

As it fruits, the plant puts on a show—blushing from pale green to deep pink, eventually ripening into firm, juicy berries that are perfect for fresh snacking, desserts, and garnishes. With its compact, upright form, pinkish stems, and rosy fruit, it also makes an excellent ornamental edible for raised beds and containers.

Why You'll Love It:

• Produces beautiful pink berries with sweet-tart, lemony flavor
• Heat-tolerant and perfect for Southern gardens and warmer climates
• Great for edible landscaping and colorful containers
• Attracts pollinators with bell-shaped spring flowers
• Fruits in mid-to-late summer for extended blueberry season

Growing Tips:

• Prefers acidic soil (pH 4.5–5.5) and full sun for best fruit color
• Water consistently—especially during flowering and fruit set
• Mulch with pine bark to maintain moisture and acidity
• Pair with another rabbiteye-type blueberry for heavier yields
• Prune in winter to shape and remove dead or crossing branches
