This mounding evergreen shrub has attractive blue-green leaves. The young, new leaves of 'Rosa's Blush' are pink. Small pink flowers are followed by small, flavorful blueberries. Usually, it begins to flower a little later than commercial blueberry cultivars. It can spread slowly by root suckering. As with other blueberries, two plants of different clones are needed for cross-pollination and the best fruit production. In the garden, it may be planted singly as an accent, in mass for the foliage color or use as a low, informal hedge. Bees pollinate the flowers, birds may eat the fruits and the evergreen foliage offers winter protection for wildlife. The berries are edible and tasty.
