Grow Cranberries Without a Water Bog!
Cranberry
A treat for the eyes, too!
Prostrate vining shrub makes an ideal ground cover.
Cranberry is a cold-hardy prostrate vining shrub, 6 inches high and 3 feet wide. It makes a delightful ground cover or cascading vine, boasting small evergreen leaves and creamy pink blooms in early spring. The deep burgundy fruits ripen in fall, just in time for the holiday feasts.
No, you do not grow this delightful Cranberry in a waist high water bog! Commercial growers do this to aid in harvesting. Instead, plant 2 feet apart in full sun to part shade. Zones 2-7.
