Vaccinium vitis-idaea 'Fireballs'
When you see the berries on Vaccinium vitis-idaea 'Fireballs', you understand why this name was chosen. 'Fireballs' has many and big red berries that stay on the shrub for a long time. This makes the plant unique, just as its early flowering and fruiting time does. This variety also stands out for its robust habit. The red berries, also called lingonberries, appear in late summer and are edible, and can be used for delicious dishes such as home-made jam, berry cheesecake, or steak with lingonberry compote! 'Fireballs' makes a great plant for mass planting, shrub borders, in mixed containers and as solitary on your balcony or terrace
