Lingonberry is a low growing evergreen shrub/groundcover with delicious tart red berries, Very popular in cooking and food preservation in Scandinavia, where they are wild harvested and cultivated. They are commonly used to make delicious jam. The plant prefers an acidic soil similar to blueberries, and some shade in our hot summers. It is a good companion to blueberry shrubs because it stays low and mat-like. The evergreen foliage is beautiful year-round.
