Hamilton Dwarf Cranberry is a hardy fruiting shrub known for its spring bells, sweet summer fruit and fiery scarlet fall foliage. Hamilton Dwarf Cranberry flowers in spring in shades of white, and performs best in full sun with moderate watering once established. This compact shrub matures to roughly 1.5-2.5 feet tall and 1.5-2.5 feet wide. It is ideal for home gardeners who want an ornamental shrub that also produces a harvest, offering ornamental appeal and a usable harvest. Hardy to zones 3-8 and straightforward to care for, it settles in quickly and performs year after year. A layer of mulch helps hold moisture and keeps roots cool in summer.
