Thompson and Morgan Cranberry Vaccinium Macro Pilgrim Plant Pot 9cm 2 Pack

Enjoy the beauty and bounty of Cranberry 'Pilgrim', a charming evergreen perfect for adding character to your garden. Its cascading habit makes it ideal for hanging baskets and containers, creating a delightful display as it trails over the edges. Before the tart, dark-red berries appear, delicate pink flowers emerge, offering a picturesque transition into winter, where the berries and bronze foliage persist.
This variety isn't just visually appealing; it's a culinary asset, adding a unique zing to dishes, perfect for preserves, and essential for traditional cranberry sauce. Cranberry 'Pilgrim' thrives in well-drained, acidic soil, enjoying sunny to semi-shaded spots. If your garden lacks naturally acidic soil, use patio containers filled with ericaceous compost mixed with John Innes No. 3.
With the first cropping expected in just 4-8 months and optimal yields within 16-20 months, this versatile plant offers both aesthetic pleasure and practical benefits for your garden and kitchen.
