**Important** Information Regarding Pre-Ordering for Spring 2027. Please Read:
Pre-orders must be placed by November 1, 2026. Pre-ordering requires full payment at checkout. Refunds will be considered only if we deem product received from our supplier as unsatisfactory in the spring. However, we've been with this supplier for years now and very rarely receive product in unsatisfactory condition. Like all orders, pre-orders cannot be shipped to you. Customers will be notified promptly in late April or early May when plants are ready for pick-up. Plants must be picked up by customer or can be hand-delivered according to parameters outlined in the Info section of this website. There is no minimum amount required. However, pre-orders will be limited to a maximum of 10 plants per variety offered, per customer. Please email with any questions.
This variety of lingonberry grows to a mature height of 12 - 15 inches and produces flowers in July and September. The fruits produced by this variety are considered very large and are very deep red in color. Well cared for plants are very vigorous growers that readily spread via numerous rhizomes. It also demonstrates great disease resistance.
Lingonberries are another powerful superfood, loaded with anthocyanins. They are a spreading, low-growing shrub, native to the boreal forests and arctic tundra. Obviously, more than hardy enough for our Minnesota climate. The small shrubs bear red to deep-red (ruby) sweet, tart fruits. In Scandinavian countries, lingonberries are commonly used in jams and syrups.
Like currants and many other berries, lingonberries will tolerate partial shade, but will produce more berries with more direct sunlight. Lingonberries are self-pollinating, but more than one variety in proximity to each other will produce greater yields and bigger fruits. That's why we offer at least two different varieties. The plants prefer an acidic soil, just like blueberries. That makes these plants a great option for filling in empty spaces around your blueberry plants, to maximize productivity of your space. See the "supplies" section for elemental sulfur that we offer by the pound.
Note: Lingonberry plants should not be fed with nitrate-based fertilizer but, instead, prefers ammonia-based sources of nitrogen.
