Don't Forget To Add These for Your Plants:

Pink Icing Blueberry is a dwarf evergreen shrub that produces abundant large blueberries.  Clusters of white flowers bloom in late spring before giving way to the robust flavored berries that ripen to dark blue by mid summer.  The glossy blue green foliage emerges bright shades of pink and turns a brilliant turquoise in winter.  Grows best with full sun and rich, moist acidic well-drained soils. Pink Icing is self-pollinating and has a recommended chill requirement of 500 hours.
