Pink Icing Blueberry Shrub (Vaccinium corymbosum ‘Pink Icing’) is a striking dwarf blueberry variety that combines delicious fruit with outstanding ornamental appeal. This compact shrub produces abundant crops of plump, sweet blueberries in midsummer, perfect for fresh eating, baking, or preserves. Its foliage is a true showstopper—new spring growth emerges in shades of pink, blue, and lavender, maturing to lush green in summer, and finally transforming into rich turquoise-blue winter tones. With its colorful year-round interest and reliable harvests, Pink Icing is an ideal choice for containers, borders, and small edible landscapes.
Growing Pink Icing Blueberry Shrub
Light: Requires full sun to partial sun for maximum berry sweetness and vibrant foliage colors.
Soil: Needs acidic, well-drained soil (pH 4.5–5.5). Incorporate peat moss or organic matter to create the proper environment.
Water: Keep soil evenly moist; water regularly during hot, dry periods and throughout fruiting season. Mulch helps conserve moisture and maintain acidity.
Fertilizer: Feed with an acid-loving plant fertilizer in early spring and again after harvest to support growth and berry production.
Pollination: Self-fertile, though planting with other blueberries can improve yields.
Maintenance: Requires little pruning other than removing older stems in late winter to encourage new growth.
Hardiness: Best grown in USDA zones 5–10. Fruits ripen in midsummer, producing heavy annual crops.
