Vaccinium darrowii 'Rosa's Blush', commonly known as 'Rosa's Blush' Darrow's blueberry, is a compact, evergreen cultivar of the native southeastern blueberry prized for its exceptionally colorful, ever-changing foliage. New growth emerges in spring with bright purplish-pink to rose tones, matures through summer to a dusty blue-green often retaining pinkish hints, and deepens to rich purplish-blue or reddish shades in fall and winter, creating multi-season ornamental appeal. In early spring, it produces clusters of small, urn-shaped to bell-shaped light pink to white flowers that attract pollinators, followed by small, edible blue-black berries that ripen gradually and offer sweet flavor when fully soft. The fine-textured, glossy leaves form a dense, mounding shrub that provides year-round interest and subtle structure in the landscape. This low-maintenance selection thrives in full sun to partial shade with acidic, well-drained soils, tolerating drought once established while preferring consistent moisture, making it ideal for native gardens, edible landscapes, containers, or as a specimen plant where its vibrant foliage color and wildlife-friendly berries add lasting value.
ORIGIN - Southeast native cv.
