Lingonberry Set ‘Magenta’ and ‘Red Sunset’ PP
In the same family as
blueberries and cranberries,
Lingonberry is a much-loved
fruit in the Scandinavian countries
where it is often served as
a condiment with meats or used
in jams, pies or juices for its
healthful benefits. It’s classified
as a “super fruit” containing flavonoids, lignans, vitamins and benzoic acid, a
natural preservative and mold inhibitor. The highly flavorful fruit is not as tart
as cranberries and it has two fruiting seasons each year: one in July/August and
another in September/October. Lingonberry creates a hardy, beautiful ground
cover with edible fruit. We are selling a Set of 2 plants, ‘Magenta’ and ‘Red
Sunset’ for optimum pollination since this ensures the largest fruits. These
hardy fruiting plants are able to withstand cold temperatures to zone 3.
