Pink Icing Blueberry

Pink Icing is a striking semi-dwarf blueberry that doubles as an ornamental feature. New growth flushes vivid pink before fading to silvery blue-green, especially in winter. This variety produces small to medium-sized sweet berries from late spring through summer. It’s perfect for pots or garden beds and thrives with regular water and acidic soil.

– Ideal prune height: 0.6–1 m
– pH range: 4.5–5.5
– Sun preference: Full sun when under 32c part shade in summer
– Minimum pot size by year 5: 25 L
– Time to fruit: 1–2 years
– Harvest period: November to January
– Notable traits: Colourful foliage, compact growth, cold-hardy

Pink Icing needs around 300–500 chill hours, making it suitable for most Perth Metro areas, especially southern and inland suburbs. It’s not fussy about frost and appreciates morning sun with some shade from hot western exposure. Keep the roots cool and moist, feed with an acidic fertiliser, and top with pine bark or oak leaf mulch for best results.

A standout choice for edible landscaping, patio pots, or small garden borders—beautiful, productive, and surprisingly easy to grow.
