This hardy perennial forms a dense mat of leathery leaves and produces clusters of tiny bell-shaped pinkish-white flowers in spring, followed by tart berries that are popular for jams, sauces, and preserves. Its compact, spreading habit makes it an excellent choice for woodland gardens, rock gardens, edible landscapes, and border plantings.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eLingonberry is valued both for its ornamental evergreen foliage and its culinary fruit. The plants stay attractive year-round and can serve as a functional ground cover in suitable climates, gradually spreading to fill in bare areas of the garden.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003ePlant Features\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEvergreen, low-growing ground cover habit\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eProduces small red edible berries with a tart flavor\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSpring blooms of pinkish-white bell-shaped flowers\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAttractive glossy green foliage year-round\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWell suited to woodland and edible landscape plantings\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch2\u003eGrowing Information\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBotanical Name:\u003c\/strong\u003e Vaccinium vitis-idaea\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePlant Type:\u003c\/strong\u003e Evergreen perennial ground cover\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSunlight:\u003c\/strong\u003e Full sun to partial shade\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSoil:\u003c\/strong\u003e Moist, well-drained, acidic soil\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWater Requirements:\u003c\/strong\u003e Moderate; keep soil consistently moist\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eGrowth Habit:\u003c\/strong\u003e Low, spreading, mat-forming\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBloom Season:\u003c\/strong\u003e Spring\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch2\u003ePlanting \u0026amp; Care\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eTransplant your lingonberry into a location with acidic, well-drained soil and good light. It tolerates partial shade but generally performs best with adequate sun. Water regularly during establishment to keep the soil evenly moist, and mulch lightly to conserve moisture and protect shallow roots. Lingonberry spreads by rhizomes, so allow room for it to fill in over time.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eOnce established, lingonberry is relatively low-maintenance. Avoid waterlogged soils, which can harm the roots, and provide consistent moisture during dry periods. Prune lightly if needed to tidy the mat and encourage fresh growth.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eWhat's Included\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eOne live lingonberry plant (Vaccinium vitis-idaea).\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Blake's Flora \u0026 Soil","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67824719036726,"sku":"FOLIA2-1077","price":119.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0994\/4884\/8694\/files\/il_fullxfull.6989830279_8s5p.jpg?v=1793004285","url":"https:\/\/blakesflora.com\/products\/1-live-lingonberry-plant-vaccinium-vitis-idaea-hardy-edible-ground-cover","provider":"Blake's Flora \u0026 Soil","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
