Cranberry Seeds for Planting vegetable patch

The American Cranberry (Vaccinium macrocarpon) is a cold-hardy perennial known for its tart, flavorful berries used fresh, dried, or in cooking. Cranberry plants form low, trailing vines that spread over time, making them ideal for edible landscapes, vegetable patches, raised beds, and container gardens.

These seeds are Non-GMO and well-suited for growers who enjoy cultivating hardy, long-lived berry plants. With proper moisture and acidic soil conditions, cranberries can produce annual harvests for many years.
