Dwarf European Cranberrybush

The Dwarf European Cranberrybush is a unique shrub that forms a perfect, neat ball of branches and leaves, bringing a formal look without ever needing trimming. The small leaves are similar to a maple, and flushed with bronzy-red when young. In fall they turn glowing shades of purple-red. It only grows 1 or 2 feet tall, and never deviates from a perfect globe-form. Use it as accents in your beds, to fill pockets in a rock garden, or to make a neat, ‘trim-free’ edging to your beds, or along a path. It can also be used as a container plant, alone or with flowering plants added seasonally.

You can grow the Dwarf European Cranberrybush in a range of light conditions, from full sun to partial shade. It thrives in just about any soil, as long as it isn’t too dry. Although preferring well-drained soil, it will also grow in wetter conditions and heavy clays. It isn’t bothered by pests or diseases in most parts of the country, and it never, ever, ever needs trimming – promise!
