Sunshine Blueberry Plant--Shipped through the Winter in Soil, Five Gallon Plant Your Sunshine Blueberry will arrive potted in soil to ensure a healthier start when planted in yard or garden. The Sunshine Blueberry plant yields an abundance of large, tangy fruit with as few as 150 hours chilling, so fresh blueberries are still a possibility for those in mild winter areas, yet hardy enough to take down to USDA zone 5. This blueberry variety only grows to about 3 feet tall and wide, so it is more suited to smaller planter areas in urban gardens where space can be a premium. Plant the Sunshine blueberry in full sun in soil that has been amended to be slightly acidic, rich, loose and well draining. It is self pollinating, but yields best when planted with another variety. Semi-evergreen.
