Cranberries are grown commercially in "bogs", actually diked ponds with 
outlets, but those of us who are home growers grow them like lowbush 
blueberries.  I have a patch of them along with the other perrenial 
foodplants as well as others farther away that serve as trap plants. 

Somewhere in the back of my head I'm thinking I tried them in VA without 
success, but guess catalog will at least give the zone.
