Lingonberry Fruit Plant is a low, spreading evergreen shrub, also known as cowberry or mountain cranberry. Delicate white flowers in early summer are followed by tart red berries in July and August, ideal for sauces, jams, juices and preserves.

Lingonberries prefer moist but well-drained acidic soil and grow in full sun or partial shade. Where garden soil is not naturally acidic, they are well suited to containers filled with ericaceous compost.

2 Litre Potted Plants

Expertly grown and supplied in 2 litre pots measuring approximately 17cm in diameter, our plants have large, well-developed root systems and are ready to plant straight into their final position in the garden. Chosen for their garden performance and seasonal beauty, each variety will naturally vary in foliage height and appearance.
