Vaccinium vitis-idaea 'Fireballs'
A compact, evergreen shrub with year-round appeal and vibrant seasonal colour. 'Fireballs' is a modern lingonberry variety prized for its glossy green foliage, which transforms to fiery red in autumn and winter. In spring, it produces clusters of delicate white, bell-shaped flowers, followed by bright red berries in late summer and autumn. Perfect for borders, containers, or as ground cover, it thrives in acidic soil and is an excellent choice for wildlife-friendly gardens, attracting pollinators and birds.
