Vaccinium vitis-idaea 'Red Candy'

Vaccinium vitis-idaea 'Red Candy' is a compact evergreen shrub that combines ornamental beauty with culinary potential. Growing just 12 inches tall and wide, this hardy plant produces abundant tart lingonberries ideal for jams, pies, and preserves. Delicate white flowers bloom in late spring, giving way to bright red berries that persist through winter. Perfect as a ground cover or container specimen, it thrives in cool climates. Prized in Scandinavia and Newfoundland—where locals call them partridgeberries—these productive little shrubs deliver serious flavour in a small footprint.
