You Garden Cranberry Vaccinium Pilgrim - 2l Pot

Imagine growing your own Cranberries for the Christmas spread, well it's much easier than you think, with his Vaccinium 'Pilgrim' Plant! Please note: This product cannot be delivered to Northern Ireland Cranberry Pilgrim plants are tough, rugged little berries, that like naturally acidic soils. This means most people need to grow them in pots, in acidic (ericaceous) compost, and you will be fine. They are quite a trailing plant, so choose a tall pot, or even a hanging basket, so the ripening red fruits can cascade down the sides. Evergreen with small pinky red flowers in late Spring, the red fruits will be produced each Autumn. Pick fresh and enjoy in smoothies or juices, or make jelly from them! Should crop in first season reliably too, and for many years after. Supplied as an established bush in 1.7L pot, pot on into ericaceous (acidic) compost only if growing in pots. Do not over-water or over-feed. Note, it is dormant in Winter, so is supplied without leaves Nov-March/April.
