Recommended winter chill: 300 hours. |
| History | Peach Sorbet® Blueberry is the result of a decades-long breeding program that has focused on finding exciting new berry plants for the home gardener that are simple to grow, exceptionally beautiful, and delicious. Also included in the collection are Jelly Bean® Blueberry and Raspberry Shortcake® Dwarf Thornless Raspberry. Peach Sorbet® was awarded Outstanding Plant in the 2012 New Varieties Showcase at the Farwest Flower and Garden Show. |
