Vaccinium uliginosum, commonly known as bog bilberry or bog blueberry, is a beautifully delicate flowering plant native to both Eurasian and North American cool temperate regions. Remarkably adaptable, this plant thrives at low altitudes in the Arctic, and at higher altitudes further south stretching to reach the Sierra Nevada in California and Rocky Mountains in Utah. Vaccinium uliginosum's habitat consists of richly acidic soils found in heathland, moorland, tundra, and coniferous forest understory. As a small decidicuous shrub, it stands at a modest 4-30 inches tall, yet possesses striking brown stems and oval blue-green leaves. In mid-spring, it boasts pendulous, pale pink, urn-shaped flowers, later producing dark blue-black berries by late summer. These berries are not only edible but visually enticing with a white flesh that tastes sweet when ripe. In Korea, the Bilberry plays a significant role in their culinary scene, being utilized in refreshing infused liquors.
