Vaccinium vitis-idaea ' Red Pearl'
Lingonberries (also known as cowberries or mountain cranberries) produce juicy tart red berries that are rich in vitamins & can be used for jams, juices & sauces. The plants are evergreen & are perfect for rockeries, tubs & window boxes as they only reach a maximum height of 15-20cm (6-8 inches) & can be planted 30cm (12in) apart. They are heavier cropping than cranberries, extremely hardy & resistant to pests & diseases. The fruits usually ripen in two flushes – late July & late September.
