Sizes available: 2 quart

Basics: zones 4-8, 4-8" x 12-18" (will spread in optimal conditions), full sun to part shade, light pink blooms in late spring to early summer, edible red berries follow in the fall, new leaves emerge red and also exhibit shades of red as the season cools, needs acidic soil and consistent moisture to do well, but does not need to be planted in a bog.

Common names: Large Cranberry, American Cranberry, Bearberry

Family: Ericaceae

Origin/Distribution: Newfoundland to Manitoba, south to Virginia, Ohio, northern Illinois, and mountainous areas into North Carolina and Tennessee. Is an escapee in other parts on North America and has also naturalized in parts of Europe. Native to Maine.

Habitat: cool, acidic, wet, boggy, periodically inundated soils, also coastal areas

More: Vaccinium macrocarpon is a very low-growing mat-forming shrub with petite, glossy leaves. Deer and rabbit resistant and salt-tolerant. Adaptable to less-than-cranberry-bog conditions. I have neglected some in small pots for a few seasons and they are astonishing me with their adaptable aplomb. The large red fruits are eaten by some birds and small mammals. Also enjoyed by humans usually with added sweetener to make jelly, sauce, or juice. Used dried or fresh in muffins or pastries and as an addition to granola. Has been used medicinally. Larval host for the Bog Copper butterfly, Lycaena epixanthe, which is native to Maine, but probably won't show up unless you have a bog.

If you have less than ideal conditions, how about a bog planting in a large container? Pitcher plant, Cranberry, one or two Carex that like it wet, Bogbean, etc. That sounds fun. If I try it I will let you know.

Recoup of purchase price was worth it.
I was refunded the original purchase price of a HP Printer. Minus the cost of the insurance and packing I was only out half the original cost which in the long run is a win.

I have always purchased Asurion and they have always come through
Asurion really came through for me when I had an issue with my Canon printer. The process was smooth and easy from start to finish. The only small challenge was finding a box big enough to ship the printer, but once I had that, I just attached the label they sent and dropped it off at UPS. They kept me updated by email every step of the way, and after inspecting the printer, they determined it couldn’t be fixed. The next day, I received a full reimbursement. Excellent communication and great service all around!

Great Experience!
I have never had to deal with Asurion before and was pleasantly surprised at how well the process went and at no additional cost to me. I shipped my printer on the 14th and it arrived back to me on the 21st, problem resolved. GREAT experience!

Good insurance to have
Asurion was great. After a few simple questions about what was going on with the unit, they issued a mailing label. Within 3 days of receiving the faulty unit they issued an Amazon gift card for the original purchase price.
