Our Vaccinium macrocarpon Pilgrim is a fruit plant that bears a great amount of colour. Its pink-white Summer flowers bring great vibrancy to the garden, before edible, red Cranberries begin to grow in Autumn. Their sweet and rich taste adds a different element to any juices or sauces you make with them, and they can also be eaten individually as part of any balanced diet.
They will grow to an ultimate height of 2m and ultimate spread of 0.5m. In terms of plant care, it should be placed in bright, indirect sunlight and planted in moist, well-drained soil. Watering becomes essential when the soil is dry to touch.

Garden Plant Size Guide
Plants in larger pots can be multiple years older than their smaller counterparts with more mature root systems and foliage. This makes them able to thrive as a full size plant in your garden quicker than smaller alternatives.
The most common size of pot that garden plants come in are 9cm/1L/3L/5L this is in reference to the diameter at the top of the pot.
9cm potted plants still remain the most popular cost effective option though, they just may take a little patience to allow them to grow into full maturity once planted in your garden.

Instructions
Top Tip
Cranberries require a cold dormancy period in winter to fruit properly. Ensure they receive enough chill hours for the best harvest.
How to Water
Cranberries need consistent moisture, especially during fruiting. Water deeply to keep the soil moist, but not soggy. In dry periods, water regularly to mimic their natural bog habitat.
How to Plant
Plant cranberries in acidic, well-drained soil. Choose a sunny spot, and dig a hole slightly larger than the root ball. Space plants 45-60cm apart. Cranberries thrive in raised beds or bog-like conditions.
