Nursery contributed plant descriptions

Unlike most Gaultheria procumbens cultivars, the berries of ‘Berry Cascade’ grow the entire length of the stem, forming a charming, cascade effect. Beautiful orange-red new growth in Spring holds its colour for months! Burgundy colour blankets the foliage in the cool of Winter. Excellent in mixed containers(especially for the Holidays!), but great as a hardscape groundcover. A Canadian native from southern Manitoba to Labrador and Nova Scotia.

Talk about berries! This bonny, little wintergreen wears an abundance of brilliantly red berries from fall through spring, cascading down the entire length of the stems. They are preceded by delicate, bell-shaped flowers in the summer, and the orange-red new growth maintains its color for months. And the color does not stop there! With cooler temperatures, the foliage becomes a beautiful burgundy. A festive ground cover or a surprising addition to mixed containers. PP20094

Sweet little evergreen subshrub, 6-12" tall, creeping out out to 2-3' wide. Foliage is glossy and dark green with a minty fragrance when crushed. Small, white urn shaped summer flowers give way to 'cascades' of bright red, edible berries in winter. Nice holiday décor. Part to full shade, moist soil with decent drainage (not soggy). Woodland ground cover, pots, rock garden; foliage often bronzes in cold weather.
