Tart Red Lingonberries

Koralle is known for heavy fruit production and may produce two crops per year: one in late summer and another in early fall. Its tart red berries provide fall and winter garden interest and are traditionally used for sauces, jellies, and preserves.

Koralle is self-pollinating. Planting another lingonberry variety, such as 'Red Candy', nearby may help increase fruit yields.

Growing and Planting Information

• Light: Sunny to partly shaded locations; avoid afternoon sun.

• Soil: Rich, acidic, well-draining soil.

• Preferred soil pH: 4.0–6.0.

• Moisture: Maintain consistent moisture, but avoid waterlogged conditions.

• Spacing: Plant approximately 12 inches apart.

• Mulch to retain moisture and suppress weeds.

• Light spring fertilizing can be beneficial.

Koralle prefers acidic soil and may struggle in alkaline or heavy clay soils. Peat moss, fir or pine sawdust, and pine needles can help create more suitable growing conditions.
