Notes
'Koralle' lingonberry (Vaccinium vitis-idaea 'Koralle') is a shrub for food gardens and ground cover. It is hardy to USDA zone 2, or down to -50°F (-46°C). This plant likes full sun to full shade. White flowers open in late spring. Red berries follow and can stay on the shrub over winter. You can use the tart berries for jams and pies.
Pairs well with Red spruce, Blue bead lily, and Alpine currant.
