Lowbush Cranberry vs Purple Leaf Sand CherryViburnum edule Prunus x cistena SOLD OUT (new stock expected: fall of 2019) SOLD OUT 
Lowbush Cranberry is a short, deciduous shrub native to North America. Its white flowers bear sour but edible fruit that ripens to a brilliant red in fall. Lowbush Cranberry's small size makes it suitable for urban use; buyers will also find it useful if trying to reclaim land back to its original species or when landscaping with native species in damp conditions.
Purple Leaf Sand Cherry provides bright reddish-purple leaves that turn bronze-green in the fall. In the spring, tiny flowers with a pinkish white hue bloom. The flowers are small, but the impact comes from the shrub blossoming all at once. LOWBUSH CRANBERRY QUICK FACTSPURPLE LEAF SAND CHERRY QUICK FACTS
