Cranberry plants - Can the Man - 13-06-2023

Has anyone got experience growing cranberry plants. I bought 2 of them about 3 years ago, for the first 2 years I kept them in pots of ericaceous compost then transplanted them in the fruit frame earlier this year. I don’t know how they fruit they seem to be a ground cover plant but no sign of any flowers buds etc.

Haven't grown them, Can, although I do have a packet of seeds staring at me.
