Discover the exceptional health benefits of growing your own cranberries with these Vaccinium macrocarpon seeds from Thompson & Morgan. Packed with Vitamin C and antioxidants, cranberries are a superfruit renowned for their culinary uses and attractive ground cover potential. These hardy plants are perfect for adding to your garden or container collection. While fruiting may take a few years from seed, the reward of fresh, homegrown berries is well worth the wait. How to Grow: - Sow seeds in trays or pots using a good quality seed compost. Lightly cover the seeds with compost or vermiculite. - Germination can be slow. After sowing, seal containers in a polythene bag and keep at 15-18°C (60-65°F) for two weeks. - Transfer the containers to a refrigerator for 3-6 weeks. - Return to the recommended germination temperature. If germination doesn't occur within 6-10 weeks, repeat the refrigeration process for another 3-6 weeks. - Regularly check for germination and remove any sprouted seeds. - Cranberries thrive in well-drained, acidic soil and prefer watering with rainwater. - Protect developing fruits from birds using netting. - Prune minimally by removing only damaged or misplaced shoots.
