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.
