Rosa's Blush is native to sandy areas, like pinelands & dunes, in counties along the Gulf Coast reaching as far west as Louisiana. Some grow the plant for it's stunning all-season purple, blue, & green foliage, while others grow it for it's sweet, edible berries. The shrub grows to be about 3-4' tall by 3" wide. In spring, the new foliage starts a bright pink color & as the season changes to summer the foliage turns to bluish green, finally changing to deeper reds & purples once fall approaches. During March, April, & May it blooms white/pink flowers. In early summer the small, blue-black berries will have ripened & are ready for harvest.

INTERESTING FACT. Studies have shown that this variety of blueberry can self pollinate & set fruit on it's own, but studies also sho that there will be a sizeable increase in fruit set if another variety of blueberry is close by for cross pollination. To encourage this we have our 'Rosa's Bush' in a field next to other blueberry varieties, such as 'Patriot'.
