Is Now a Good Time to Plant?

Yes! Fall is one of the best times to plant!

Landscaping experts often recommend planting in fall instead of waiting until spring. Here’s why:

  • Cooler weather puts less stress on newly planted trees and shrubs.
  • Fall soil is still warm, which helps roots grow and get established.
  • Cooler temperatures mean less water is lost through the leaves, making it easier for plants to stay hydrated.
  • Even after top growth slows for winter, roots continue developing below ground.
  • Fall weather often brings more rain and less heat, making new plants easier to care for.
  • By spring, your plants already have a head start. Their established roots can support strong new leaves, branches, and flowers.
  • Trees planted in spring must establish their roots while also dealing with rising temperatures and summer heat.

Plant this fall, and your trees can spend the cooler months getting settled instead of waiting until spring to get started!

Planting your Pink Lemonade Blueberry

Pink Lemonade Blueberry Planting Instructions:

  1. Site Selection & Soil Preparation: The Pink Lemonade Blueberry bush thrives in full sun but can tolerate partial shade. For optimal growth and fruit production, choose a location with at least 6-8 hours of direct sunlight per day. Blueberries prefer acidic, well-draining soil with a pH between 4.5 and 5.5. Amend your soil with peat moss or compost if necessary to improve acidity and drainage. Avoid heavy clay soils, as blueberries need good drainage to prevent root rot. Dig a hole slightly shallower than the root ball and twice as wide. Place the root ball in the hole so it sits slightly above the surrounding soil.
  2. Spacing & Mulching: If planting multiple bushes, space them 4-5 feet apart to allow for proper air circulation and root spread. After planting, apply a 2-3 inch layer of mulch (such as pine bark or pine needles) around the base of the bush, but keep it a few inches away from the stem. Mulch helps retain moisture, control weeds, and maintain the soil’s acidity.
  3. Watering: Water the bush thoroughly after planting to settle the soil around the roots. For the first few months, keep the soil consistently moist, but not waterlogged. Water the plant about once or twice a week, adjusting based on rainfall and weather conditions.

Pink Lemonade Blueberry Care Instructions:

  1. Watering During Establishment: For the first year, keep the soil evenly moist by watering regularly, especially during dry periods. Pink Lemonade Blueberries have shallow roots, so it’s important to ensure the top 2-3 inches of soil stay moist. Once established, water about once a week, but increase watering during hot, dry spells to ensure good fruit production.
  2. Fertilization: Blueberries are light feeders and prefer acidic fertilizers. Apply a balanced fertilizer formulated for acid-loving plants (such as 10-10-10) in early spring when new growth begins. Avoid fertilizers with too much nitrogen, as this can reduce fruit production. Apply a second round of fertilizer in late spring, if necessary, following package instructions.
  3. Pest and Disease Monitoring: Pink Lemonade Blueberries are generally hardy, but you may occasionally encounter pests like aphids, caterpillars, or birds (which love to snack on the berries). Use insecticidal soap for small pest infestations and consider covering the bushes with bird netting as the berries ripen. Good air circulation and well-drained soil help prevent fungal diseases like root rot or powdery mildew.

Maintenance and Long-Term Care:

  1. Pruning: Prune your Pink Lemonade Blueberry bush in late winter or early spring while it is still dormant. Focus on removing dead or damaged branches and thinning out older wood to allow new canes to develop. This ensures better air circulation, sunlight penetration, and healthier fruit production. Once the bush matures (after 3-4 years), remove 1-2 of the oldest canes each year to encourage new growth.
  2. Fruit Production: Pink Lemonade Blueberries produce small, pale pink berries in mid to late summer. These berries are sweet and delicious, perfect for fresh eating or baking. The plant usually begins fruiting 2-3 years after planting. For best results, it’s helpful to plant a second variety of blueberry nearby for cross-pollination, which can increase fruit yield. Harvest the berries when they turn a deep pink and are soft to the touch.
  3. Cold Protection: Pink Lemonade Blueberries are cold-hardy in USDA zones 4-8. In colder climates, mulch heavily around the base of the plant in late fall to insulate the roots and protect against frost. If temperatures drop significantly, consider covering the bush with frost cloth to protect young buds from freezing.

Indoor and Container Gardening:

Pink Lemonade Blueberries are excellent candidates for container gardening, especially in regions with less-than-ideal soil conditions. Choose a pot at least 16-20 inches wide and deep with drainage holes to accommodate the bush’s root system. Use an acidic potting mix, such as one designed for azaleas or camellias, and ensure the container gets plenty of sunlight.

Place the container in a sunny location where the bush receives at least 6 hours of sunlight daily. Water regularly, keeping the soil moist but not soggy, and check the container more often for moisture, as pots can dry out faster than ground-planted bushes.

Winter Care for Containers: In colder climates, move the container to a sheltered location, such as a garage or basement, during winter months to protect the roots from freezing. Reduce watering during dormancy but do not allow the soil to dry out completely. In early spring, move the plant back outdoors and resume regular care.

By following these instructions, your Pink Lemonade Blueberry bush will reward you with vibrant blooms, delicious pink berries, and a beautiful landscape addition for many seasons to come!

Beware- not all Pink Lemonade Blueberries are the same.

Be sure to get superior blueberry bushes, grown by experts.

Better Roots Make Stronger Plants: Some nurseries send you "bare root" blueberry bushes to save on shipping. Even worse, others have started digging them right out of the ground before shipping. This causes major transplant shock and long-term damage. We send you Pink Lemonade Blueberries in soil-filled containers- ensuring a well-developed root system that is ready to grow and produce!

Healthy Plants: We've seen other nurseries grow tall blueberry bushes in tiny pots to save on shipping. This leads to a "root bound" shrub, where the roots have outgrown their pot- they cannot absorb water and nutrients. They quickly dry out during shipment, leading to an unhealthy shrub.

Pink Lemonade Blueberry - NationwidePlants.com

Pink Lemonade is a blueberry like no other- sweet, bright pink berries on a compact bush that's beautiful in every season.

  • Bright pink berries with a sweet, mild flavor and a gentle lemony note
  • Long harvest from midsummer into early fall

Not all plants are created equal

The Difference Is in the Roots

Every plant we ship has grown in a nursery container with its roots protected, so it arrives healthy, established and ready to thrive in your yard.

A full, branched Nationwide Plants tree in a nursery pot next to a thin bare-root tree with exposed roots Ours: container grown Theirs: bare root
Nationwide Plants Other Nurseries
How it's grown Grown in a nursery container, roots protected the whole time Pulled or dug from the field, tearing fragile roots
How it arrives Arrives in its pot with soil intact Arrives bare root, exposed and drying out
Before shipping Growing naturally until it ships Held dormant in a cooler, then shocked by a hot shipping box
Root health Strong, well-developed roots with room to grow Crammed into a small pot until it's root bound
Height Measured from the top of the soil Often includes the pot and roots
After planting Settles in quickly with less transplant shock Arrives stressed and can take years to recover, if it does

The height you see is the height you plant.

We measure every plant from the top of the soil, not the bottom of the pot. Many nurseries include the pot and roots, so a "5–6 ft." tree from them might stand only 4 ft. tall once it's planted.

Comparisons reflect common practices across the online plant industry, not any single company.

Honest Measurements: Some nurseries measure plants including the pot and roots, so the plant you receive is much smaller than you expected. We measure all of our plants from the soil line, so the height you see is what you can expect after planting.

From our nursery to your door

How We Ship Your Plants

Every order is hand-selected, watered and carefully packed so it arrives healthy and ready to plant. Here's what happens after you place your order.

  1. Hand-Picked for You

    Our team selects the best plant available for your order. For privacy trees, that's the tallest and fullest. For fruit trees, it's the best branched.

    Why it matters: Many online nurseries ship whatever is next in the row.

  2. A Deep Drink Before the Trip

    Every plant gets a thorough watering right before it's packed, so it starts the journey fully hydrated.

  3. Roots Sealed In

    We wrap the pot and roots in plastic to lock in moisture, so your plant has water to drink all the way to your door.

    Why it matters: Bare-root plants are often shipped with their roots exposed and drying out.

  4. Braced for the Ride

    Cardboard inserts are secured inside every box to hold your plant in place, so it won't slide, tip or get damaged in transit.

  5. Shipped Only by FedEx

    We ship your trees exclusively with FedEx. We've found they deliver the fastest and handle live plants the most gently.

And if anything goes wrong, every plant is backed by our 1 Year Warranty.

Healthy Roots Make a Huge Difference

  • Never buy bare-root plants. These trees are starved of nutrients, and have a low survival rate.
  • Beware of nurseries cut corners by growing in small pots. These "rootbound" plants are weak, struggle to absorb nutrients, and die quickly after planting.
  • Some nurseries try to sell oversized plants, but chop off vital roots so they can cram the rootball into a narrow box to save on shipping!

You Want Pink Lemonade Blueberries Grown by Experts

Some nurseries ship thin, weak blueberry bushes grown in tiny pots to save money. These "root bound" plants can take years to recover before they give you a real harvest.

Nationwide Plants only sends you strong Pink Lemonade Blueberries, selected and cared for by our plant experts, with healthy, developed roots. A strong start helps your bush settle in quickly and begin producing berries, often around 2-3 years after planting.

Frequently Asked Questions about the Pink Lemonade Blueberry

What color are Pink Lemonade blueberries?

Pink Lemonade blueberries are pink, not blue. The berries start pale green and ripen to a bright, light pink with a sweet, mild flavor and a gentle lemony note. Kids love them, and they make a fun, colorful surprise in fruit salads, baked goods, and snacks.

When do Pink Lemonade blueberries ripen?

Pink Lemonade blueberries ripen over an extended season from midsummer into early fall. That later, longer harvest sets it apart from many blueberries. Pick the berries when they turn a deep pink and feel soft to the touch, and check the bush every few days since they ripen gradually.

How big does a Pink Lemonade Blueberry bush get?

A Pink Lemonade Blueberry bush grows about 4 to 5 feet tall and 4 to 5 feet wide at maturity. Its compact size makes it perfect for smaller yards, raised beds, edible landscapes, and even large containers. When planting several bushes, space them 4 to 5 feet apart.

What zones does Pink Lemonade Blueberry grow in?

Pink Lemonade Blueberry grows in USDA Hardiness Zones 4 through 8. It tolerates cold winters and hot summers. In colder climates, mulch heavily around the base in late fall and cover the bush with frost cloth if a hard freeze threatens early buds in spring.

Does Pink Lemonade Blueberry need another blueberry to pollinate?

Pink Lemonade Blueberry can produce fruit on its own, but planting a second blueberry variety nearby is recommended for cross-pollination. A pollination partner helps increase fruit set and overall yield. Bees are the main pollinators, so avoid spraying insecticides while the bushes are blooming.

What soil pH does a Pink Lemonade Blueberry need?

A Pink Lemonade Blueberry needs acidic, well-draining soil with a pH between 4.5 and 5.5. Lower the pH with peat moss or sulfur if needed, and avoid heavy clay that stays wet. A 2 to 3 inch layer of pine bark or pine needle mulch helps hold moisture and maintain acidity.

How long before a Pink Lemonade Blueberry produces fruit?

A Pink Lemonade Blueberry usually begins producing fruit 2 to 3 years after planting. Harvests increase as the bush matures. Feeding with a fertilizer for acid-loving plants in early spring and keeping the shallow roots evenly moist help the plant establish quickly and fruit well.

Can I grow Pink Lemonade Blueberry in a container?

Yes, Pink Lemonade Blueberry is an excellent container plant. Use a pot at least 16 to 20 inches wide and deep with drainage holes, filled with an acidic potting mix for azaleas or camellias. Give it at least 6 hours of sun and move it to a sheltered spot like a garage in cold winters.

How do I prune a Pink Lemonade Blueberry bush?

Prune a Pink Lemonade Blueberry bush in late winter or early spring while it is dormant. Remove dead or damaged branches and thin older wood so new canes can develop. Once the bush is mature, after about 3 to 4 years, remove 1 to 2 of the oldest canes each year to keep it productive.

Which states can Pink Lemonade Blueberry not ship to?

Pink Lemonade Blueberry cannot be shipped to Arizona, California, Oregon, or Washington because of state agricultural shipping restrictions on blueberry plants. Customers in the other states where it is offered can order it normally. Gardeners in those four states can check local nurseries for approved blueberry plants.
