Lingonberry Plant

• Tart, juicy berries similar to cranberries
• Packed with antioxidants and vitamins
• Grows well in a container
• Delicious in desserts and preserves

Packed with antioxidants and vitamins, lingonberries are delicious in pies, desserts and preserves. The tart, juicy berries are produced in late July on small spreading bushes, often with a second harvest in September. This acid-loving evergreen shrub is good for small spaces, growing well in containers filled with ericaceous compost, and with its attractive pale pink flowers in spring, it makes a lovely ornamental plant for a courtyard or patio too. The berries, which are similar to cranberries, can also be added to smoothies or eaten raw – just add sugar to taste.
