How to Grow Balsgard Lingonberry

PLANT USES: The fruit is used to make preserves, juices, liqueurs and wine. The ornamental value of the plant is an asset to a gardener or landscaper that wants a rare plant that is low growing and has edible fruit.
WATER REQUIREMENTS: Over watering will kill these plants. If the soil drains well more water can be applied. Only water when the soil moisture level is low. When the first 2 inches of soil is medium moist to the touch it's time to water. The soil should never hold enough water so the water can be squeezed out with one's hand.
FERTILIZER REQUIREMENTS: Low acid fertilizer, use only water soluble. When using granular fertilizers be careful because granules can be disbursed too close to the crown area of the plant resulting in death.
