Thompson & Morgan Cranberry (Vaccinium macro) Pilgrim 9cm Potted Plant x 2

Discover the charm of Cranberry 'Pilgrim', an evergreen delight that not only beautifies your garden but also offers a bounty of tart, dark-red berries. Its cascading growth makes it perfect for trailing down from hanging baskets or spilling over the edges of containers. Delicate pink flowers precede the berries, creating a picturesque display that transitions beautifully into winter when the berries persist alongside the bronze foliage. This variety is not just a visual treat but also a culinary delight, adding zing to dishes, making preserves, or crafting traditional cranberry sauce. Cranberry 'Pilgrim' thrives in well-drained, acidic soils and prefers sunny to semi-shaded positions. If your garden lacks naturally acidic soil, consider planting in patio containers filled with a mix of ericaceous compost and John Innes No. 3. With an estimated time to first cropping as short as 4-8 months and optimal yields within 16-20 months, this versatile plant promises both aesthetic appeal and practical use in your garden or kitchen. How to Grow Instructions: Light: Plant in full sun to part shade. Temperature: Hardy and adaptable but prefers cooler climates. Watering: Keep soil consistently moist, especially during fruiting. Feeding: Fertilize lightly in spring with ericaceous plant food. Humidity: Thrives in moderate humidity; mist occasionally indoors. Images shown are for guidance only and show the expected results of plants upon maturity. Different growing conditions might vary results. Image may be included for illustration of supply but can vary due to seasonality changes (e.g., deciduous plants lose leaves in colder months).
