Description: Gaultheria Procumbens: This small creeping evergreen offers year-round appeal. The beautiful creeping groundcover has fragrant, shiny dark green leaves that turn a rich burgundy in fall, and petite, bell-shaped blossoms of white blushed with pale pink that are borne in spring. Looks like a ground-hugging cotoneaster. The edible fruits produce the distinctive wintergreen flavoring. The 1 1/2-inch fruits arise in midsummer and continue into the following spring, creating the most unusual sight of both flowers and fruit together! And the foliage is wonderfully aromatic when crushed, still used in wintergreen tea. This perennial ground cover plant is great for shady areas with acidic soil. Birds love the berries!!
