Vaccinium vitis-idaea 'Red Candy'
29th November 2013
It seems that I am not the only one who is searching for garden value among the Vaccinium. 'Red Candy'
is a recent introduction that the garden centres would like to convince me is worth growing, and they have succeeded.
The species comes from boreal forests in the northern hemisphere. It has red edible berries and so does this selection.
I tried them, and I was not overwhelmed with delight.
