Hello all, I’m very very new here and to gardening. Can anyone tell me why my blueberries are turning purple after planting? I bought the bushes at a local nursery and planted beside each other. One still has green-ish bulbs but the other started turning purple? I’m not sure if it’s supposed to do that yet, or if my soil mixture isn’t right. I mixed pine bark soil conditioner, in ground miracle grow soil, and holly tune. Please help!
It depends on the blueberry but I think they are fine and just ripening our blueberries on our farm normally turn purple before blue as long as the leaves are not browning/turning yellow I think they are fine

They look normal to me. Blueberries will look purple. As they ripen, they get more bluish. After harvesting and washing, they will look more blue too. Color is a little different depending on which variety you have.
