Lingonberry : Ida

Dwarf 15-20cm (6-8 inch) evergreen plants that resemble box hedging, and can be clipped accordingly. The ideal patio container for the forgetful gardener as they are very drought, pest and disease resistant.

The small white flowers develop into red berries from mid August with a pleasant acidic flavour, that can improve further after a frost. These tasty fruits can be used in a similar way to cranberries.

Suitable for growing in containers.
