I found this image over on Little Yard. But the site is in Japanese….and google translate isn’t a help. I would love to know what it is…it makes a lovely container plant don’t you think. Ideas?

it’s craneberry – Oxycoccus palustris
thanks! will go look that up — is it edible?
wait — you mean cranberry (which nearly grows wild where I live)? hmmm….never seen it potted. What an interesting idea….
Yes, edible cranberry, but I think the first commentor has the subgenus/species. It is same genus as blueberries.
it’s Red Whortleberry plant 🙂
Whortleberry has bigger leaves, and berries grow in group

What zone is it rated?
The name used to be vaccinium oxycoccos. It may have changed by now and grew as a native plant in bogs of southeast Alaska. Vaccinium vitis-idaea is a lovely little vaccinium with beefy green leaves and a ground creeper as well, and Linnaea borealis. They can be grown easily from rhizomes, but be cautious about taking native plants from the wild. A native plant society might be able to source some for you.
