It has beautiful flowers, delicious fruit, \u0026amp; wonderful foliage.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe white 3 – 5” clusters of flowers will bloom in the spring for nearly a month putting on a lovely show. It is a larval host plant for the Spring Azure butterfly, whose photo I have included above because they too are beautiful. By August, the flowers will have become showy red berries that are very ornamental, \u0026amp; they will often stay on into the winter, adding some color to the landscape. Birds \u0026amp; other woodland creatures love to eat the berries, making this a wonderful choice for wildlife gardens. The berried branches are also used in holiday décor like wreaths \u0026amp; garlands.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAlthough they are called a “Cranberry”, the fruit is not actually a cranberry. At least not “that cranberry”. They are called so because their red berries have the same appearance, similar taste, \u0026amp; mature at the same time of year. The fruit of Viburnum Trilobum grows in clusters, \u0026amp; each berry measures about 1\/3” wide. They can be enjoyed fresh (raw), made into jellies, sauces, or in any way you would use a cranberry. They are tart without being bitter, \u0026amp; are high in Vitamin C.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Highbush Cranberry has interesting patterned scaly bark with arching branches that are a reddish brown tone. Its leaves are similar to those of a maple, \u0026amp; they turn out in great fall colors ranging from yellows \u0026amp; peaches to reds \u0026amp; purples. This shrub is very cold hardy, \u0026amp; is perennial all the way down to Zone 2. They prefer moist soil, but can tolerate soil that is sandy or heavy clay. These shrubs grow about 3’ a year. They make a wonderful specimen plant, look wonderful in groups, \u0026amp; can make an effective border or screen.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003e* Don’t miss the Blackberry, Raspberry, \u0026amp; Blueberry seeds available in our store! *\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 14px;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan style=\"margin: 0px 0px 1rem; color: #1f2124; font-family: -apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, 'San Francisco', 'Segoe UI', Roboto, 'Helvetica Neue', sans-serif; font-style: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; letter-spacing: normal; orphans: 2; text-align: start; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; widows: 2; word-spacing: 0px; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; white-space: normal; text-decoration-thickness: initial; text-decoration-style: initial; text-decoration-color: initial;\"\u003e* FREE SHIPPING ON ALL ADDITIONAL SEEDS!\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003ePAY ONE FLAT SHIPPING FEE PER ORDER NO MATTER HOW MANY PACKS OF SEEDS YOU SELECT!\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWE HAVE OVER 2,000 TYPES OF FLOWER, VINE, TREE, SHRUB, HERB, FRUIT, \u0026amp; VEGETABLE SEEDS TO CHOOSE FROM!!!\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Seedville USA","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46324937851018,"sku":"1832","price":3.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0691\/1380\/6986\/files\/shutterstock_179027177.jpg?v=1747847573","url":"https:\/\/blessviva.com\/products\/20-american-highbush-cranberry-viburnum-trilobum-red-fruit-white-flower-shrub-seeds","provider":"Blessviva","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
