Lingonberry is a widely adapted small evergreen shrub with dainty ½ inch leaves that turn a rich burgundy in winter. Medium-sized, bright red fruit in the fall follows small white spring flowers, reminiscent of cranberries
Landscape uses: Native evergreen small shrub is well-suited to row cultivation or use as pathway edging, at the front of a shrub border, or as an evergreen addition to perennial beds. Does not compete well with grasses or tall weeds.
