Vaccinium macrocarpon Pilgrim
Growing as a low, spreading shrub, the Pilgrim Cranberry reaches a height of about 6 to 12 inches and forms a dense mat of glossy, evergreen leaves. In the spring, delicate pink flowers bloom, giving way to vibrant red cranberries in the fall. The cranberries are both edible and known for their tart flavor, commonly used in sauces, beverages, and various culinary creations. This cranberry thrives in full sun and well-draining, acidic soil. Its attractive foliage and bountiful fruit make it a versatile addition to gardens, landscapes, and even container plantings, adding both visual interest and culinary potential to outdoor spaces.
