Indiana Berry

Vaccinium Vitis-idaea L. - A great ground cover that grows 6-12 inches tall, the plants spread by underground rhizomes. The rhizomes are strong enough to fill in the row but, they are not invasive. The leaves are bright green year around; some varieties can bloom with white flowers in May and again in late July/August.
  Lingonberries are closely related to blueberries and cranberries but keep in mind they do not like wet, clay or boggy conditions. a light, well-drained soil such as a sandy loam, a well-drained loam, or a silty loam, with 2% organic matter content, and a pH of 4.5 to 5.5 are best. Peat, leaf and pine bark mulch is good for mulching. Do not over fertilize. Full sunlight produces the heaviest crops while partial shade increases the number of shoots. It typically takes 2 years from the time of planting until fruiting. Fruit production benefits from planting 2 different varieties but is not necessary. 
  Dig a hole approximately 12" wide and 6" deep. Space plants approx. 18" apart. Remove the plant from the container by turning and tapping the bottom. Place the plant in the hole, fill with soil and water thoroughly. The top of the potted portion of the plant should be slightly lower than the top of the hole. Be sure that the potted plant is completely covered with your native soil or it may act as a wick and cause the roots to dry out. Some plants may benefit by replanting in a larger pot and then transplanting to the ground in the fall.  
  These berries require very little, if any, fertilizer but may respond to magnesium if the soil test is low.  No pruning is necessary.  Educational Links
