Description
Redwood® Creeping Wintergreen is a charming, evergreen perennial groundcover that brings year-round beauty to shady spaces. This low-growing woodland native forms glossy, deep green mats that hug the soil, making it ideal for under trees, along shaded pathways, or in naturalized beds. In late spring to early summer, delicate bell-shaped flowers appear, followed by bright red berries that persist into fall and winter, adding cheerful color when the garden grows quiet.
Perfectly suited for partial to full shade, Redwood® Creeping Wintergreen thrives in cool, moist, acidic, well-draining soil. It spreads gradually by creeping stems, forming a dense carpet over time that helps suppress weeds and fill in bare areas—steady and dependable rather than aggressive. For the best berry production, plant more than one to encourage pollination and ensure a generous display.
The berries are ornamental and enjoyed by wildlife,. They are generally considered non-toxic, however they are not intended as an edible food source for people or pets.
With its evergreen foliage, charming blooms, and winter-bright berries, Redwood® Creeping Wintergreen is a graceful, low-maintenance solution for creating lush, shade-loving groundcover with four-season appeal.

Reviews
Very interesting plant! I do want to see more. Very healthy.
"This one seems to be still settling in. There is no new growth but the plant appears very healthy. I assume she is building her roots and will show off later. It is a lovely plant and I can wait to see her in full beauty."

"Didn't thrive where I put it. Was looking for some winter interest and berries for the birds. Didn't work out."
Spreading wintergreen
"I am trying out all sorts of native plants in my backyard. I have a plot where acidophylic plants should thrive. I just planted the wintergreens about 2 weeks ago. I am waiting to see how they took to transplanting."
Died
"Unfortunately these plants arrived during an unusual cold spell and dud not survive. I have no idea what they would have been like had they arrived in good weather."
Great specimen.
"Very good plant. They gave me a great one. Not happy with everything else though"
Uncertain
"I am hoping this plant manages to further develop; it doesn't look as though it is thriving. I purchased it for its berries but also as a ground cover. Time will tell."
I got this for my real plant fairy garden
"Great if you only have small apt growing space"
