Grow your own patch of northern berries with these wild harvested Lingonberry rhizomes (Vaccinium vitis-idaea) sourced from Alaska. These cold hardy berry plants produce tart red fruits and form evergreen groundcover in suitable woodland and acidic soil environments.

Lingonberries thrive in acidic, forest-like conditions beneath birch and spruce trees. They spread slowly through underground rhizomes, creating dense colonies that carpet woodland gardens and edible landscapes. Their cold hardiness and unique flavor make them valued in northern regions.

These are bare root rhizomes, not potted plants. Each rhizome is naturally small and requires time and care to establish. Wild harvesting means collection and shipment may take several days depending on availability and weather.

You will receive healthy rhizomes similar to those shown in the photos.

Included:
✔️ 5 live Lingonberry rhizomes
✔️ Wild harvested bare root plant material
✔️ Healthy dormant or actively growing rhizomes
✔️ Ready for planting in acidic soil
✔️ Secure packaging for safe arrival
