Plant Lingonberries in pots or raised beds, 50cm apart.
They are best in moist well-drained acidic soil (a pH of 4.0 - 5.5 is ideal) or ericaceous compost.
If growing in pots, choose a fairly large pot with good drainage. You may need to re-pot as the plant grows.
Choose a sunny site, sheltered from strong winds.
Growing Tips & Pruning Advice
During the first growing season expect your plant to need watering daily. As it establishes this can be reduced, so in later years it will only need a thorough drench once or twice a week during prolonged dry spells in summer.
Cut plants back lightly during the winter to keep them compact and bushy.
Mulch with an ericaceous compost in autumn or early spring.
Harvesting
Flowers will appear in spring, berries will be ready to harvest in late summer/early autumn.
