Bask in the beautiful green foliage of Peach Sorbet Blueberry in the spring and enjoy the fruit of the gorgeous plant in late summer! Peach Sorbet Blueberry is a wonderful medium-sized berry bush that produces bell-shaped flowers in May and yields large and delicious fruits in the months of July and August. Just before winter, the foliage of the blueberry plant fades into deep, rich fall colors.
Peach Sorbet® Blueberry Bush Care
Plant Peach Sorbet in spring time when added directly to the ground in a garden space. This plant can grow about 2 feet in height and 2 feet in width. Its compact size will make Peach Sorbet Blueberry a perfect addition to your garden or in a large container. You should place the plant in full sun, about 6 to 8 hours of direct light per day. When adding directly to ground or into a large container, ensure that the plant is receiving nutrient-rich and well-draining soil combined with organic compost.
Growing Peach Sorbet® Blueberry Bushes in Containers
You can grow these blueberries in large containers. Choose a container at least 18 inches in depth with proper drainage. We recommend wide and weather resistant containers for the blueberry plant for a longer term set up.
Watering Peach Sorbet® Blueberry Bushes
Be sure to water your Peach Sorbet Blueberry every one week about one or twice, depending on the heat and sunlight received. When faced with intense summer heat, water the blueberry bush more to prepare for dry spells.
Feeding Peach Sorbet® Blueberry Bushes
Peach Sorbet Blueberry doesn’t require much fertilization at all, so feed the plant once in the beginning of spring. You can give the blueberry bush an acidic fertilizer such as cottonseed meal. After fertilizing, it is important to test the pH of the soil to ensure levels stay between 4.0 and 4.8.

Plant Addicts Warranty - 1 Year (Extra Purchase Required)
We encourage all plant lovers to purchase the Plant Addicts Warranty, whether you're a new gardener or an expert. There are many variables outside of anyone's control that can cause a plant to die. Hungry animals, drought, poor soil conditions, over watering, diseases & pests are all good examples of what can cause plants to die. The Plant Addicts Warranty is a 1 year warranty protecting you from all of the unknowns and will replace your plant if something were to happen to it.
The warranty is purchased on a per plant basis and must be purchased at the same time as the plant(s). We will cover 100% of the price of the plant, but the warranty does not cover shipping costs. SImply let us know if your plant has died within 1 year of receiving it and we will get you a new one shipped out as soon as possible (depending on the time of the year and availability). We may ask for photos for documentation purposes, but we try to make the process as easy as possible.

Plant Shipping
Below are some factors we consider when determining when to ship the plants depending on the timing of the order.
Winter to Early Spring
We ship only when it's warm enough to plant in your growing zone.
Sometimes plants aren't completely ready to sell and ship in early spring. We will wait until the plants are ready before shipping so you don't get a subpar product.
For Southern plants we will be able to ship much earlier than plants coming from our northern nursery.
Summer
If there is extreme heat we may delay shipping for a week or several weeks.
We review what areas the plants are traveling through as well as your location.
Fall into Winter
We’ll ship plants out all the way up to the end of the fall planting season!
Winter
Get your order in early to reserve your plants for Spring planting!
Once your plant is shipped you’ll receive an automated email with tracking information.
