Anyone tried Lignonberry?

Hi Folks!
ages ago I tried some Lignonberry jelly with some Swedish meatballs and it was lovely, so decided to finally treat myself to a bush. Has anyone else grown one and are they any good?
many thanks

You probably already know, but they need ericaceous compost and they like moist soil with decent drainage - they are ideal ground cover plants under blueberries. I haven't grown any before but swaine (forum member and fruit expert!) sent me some cutting to try this year.

That's a great idea, thank you BW.

Presumably that is blueberries in the ground rather than in containers.

Could be either I guess, depending on the size of the container? mine are in the ground as my ground is quite acidic anyway, and I made a corner for them and incorparated more ericaceous compost.
