Cranberry, American – 50 Seeds

Enjoy the tart, vibrant flavor of homegrown cranberries right from your own garden. This heirloom American Cranberry is a versatile, low-growing perennial that produces the same delicious red berries famous for their use in sauces, jams, and holiday baking. Not just a productive fruiting plant, it also serves as a unique and attractive evergreen ground cover, adding year-round interest to your landscape or containers.

🤔 Do cranberries need to be grown in a bog?

No! That's a common myth. Commercial farms flood their fields to make harvesting easier, as the berries float. For the home gardener, cranberries are perfectly happy grown in a pot or garden bed, much like a blueberry plant, as long as their soil and moisture needs are met.
