A very dwarf and extremely compact form of the Pacific Northwest native evergreen huckleberry. Identical to the typical large shrub commonly seen along the coast and in forests but much, much smaller and slower growing. Bright red new growth. Easy in cultivation, this plant is tolerant of sun and even dry shade once established.
The Lingonberry is an evergreen blueberry that forms a very dwarf and compact shrub with tiny (one-half inch long or so) leaves adorning the slowly creeping stems. The leaves are smooth and deep glossy green and the small urn-shaped flowers are white flushed pink in short racemes at the ends of the stems followed by clusters of “cranberry-like” bright red “blueberries” in summer. This is a widespread and common species throughout the alpine and tundra regions of the Northern Hemisphere. My own collection of this species representing a particularly fine form I found in the Canadian Rockies.
This is basically a dwarf, creeping, and prostrate form of the somewhat more familiar V. nummularia that we have offered many times over the years. This particular collection, however, is quite distinct from any other collection of this species in that it is quite upright in habit, albeit with the same tiny, glossy, rounded leaves and hairy stems which slowly run underground to form a very slowly spreading specimen. A favorite for containers. Flowers similar to those of V. nummularia – white flushed pink and urceolate in shape. Small black “blueberries” in late summer.
An evergreen epiphytic blueberry from the cloud forests of SE Asia. This epiphytic species has glossy and small rounded leaves along the stems. The new growth emerges bright red. The hanging panicles of flowers are quite attractive and very different in appearance compared to those of most the other "blueberries" with which I am familiar. As with the rhododendrons native to this region, this should have some hardiness. Excellent drainage required for success.
