In garden beds, check drainage and soil pH rather than assuming ordinary garden soil is suitable.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAlthough Sunshine Blue is reported to tolerate higher pH than many blueberries, acidic conditions remain the best starting point. Feed according to soil-test results and the directions on a fertilizer intended for acid-loving plants. In cold climates, protect container-grown roots, which are more exposed than roots in the ground.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003ePollination \u0026amp; Harvest Expectations\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA second plant is optional, not a requirement. If adding a pollination partner, select a different compatible variety with overlapping bloom time in your region.
