Not very prolific plants, have lost one since my order and other 3 are struggling.

We’re sorry to hear that your Lingonberry plants have been struggling, especially after losing one of the plants. Lingonberries can be slower to establish and have specific soil requirements, particularly preferring acidic, well-drained soil.

We understand how disappointing it is when plants don't establish as expected. Thank you for taking the time to share your experience and for giving the plants a chance to get established.

Received the plants in good time and good shape. Put them in ground the following day. Within 2 months saw the first flower on the small sprig. Very happy with the purchase.
