 "American cranberry"
The American cranberry is a low trailing,
mat forming, evergreen shrub of bogs. This species is the source of the
commercial cranberry.
 Plants typically grow to 12 inches (30cm) tall with a 3
to 4 foot (1m) spread and has small, glossy, leathery dark green leaves to
3/4 inch across, bronzey in spring and dark-green in summer, turn a
variety of colors in fall. Leaves turn bronze in winter. In
spring-summer, the American cranberry features fuchsia-pink bell-shaped
flowers in nodding clusters. The flowers are unique, with four
turned-back petals, looking a bit like hats, and beak-like stamens.
Blooming is followed by edible, round, bright red berries. If massed, plants can form a carpet of green
foliage. This plant can be grown for the food crop, as an ornamental or
both.

Cranberry prefers a cooler climate and moist to wet soil. Best grown in
damp, acidic (pH 4.0-5.2), organically rich, well-drained soil in full
sun.

Culture: Plant 2'(60cm) apart. Self-pollinating.


Scarification, cold stratification, light and moisture enhance germination.


Scarify: Soak in water for 24 hours


Stratify: Cold 60-90 days, 40 Degrees F
