Care Guide

Cultivation

Prefers a moist, acidic, organic, loamy soil and has a good tolerance of poorly-drained soils so useful for boggy areas. Male and female flowers produced on separate plants so both need to be planted nearby to obtain berries on a female. One male plant can pollinate several female plants. The plant label should indicate if you are buying male or female plants
