Regal Lingonberry

Regal is the newest Lingonberry cultivar, hybridized by the University of Wisconsin. It is known for large fruit, heavy flowering, and early double cropping yields. The evergreen foliage is deep green and has a waxy gloss. Dark green, tiny ovate leaves grown on multiple 8- to 15-inch erect stems spreading outward 20 inches. Regal makes a very attractive ground cover or border plant; you can even walk on the resilient plants without damaging them. Pure white bell-shaped flowers with a tinge of pink will flower profusely 2 times every year, once in the spring and again in mid-summer. Lingonberries are high in Vitamin C and have many of the same health benefits of blueberries and cranberries, their native cousins. To promote pollination for best fruit size and yield, plant with another of our Lingonberry cultivars. Hardiness Zones 3-9.
