Berry Cascade™ Wintergreen (Gaultheria procumbens) is a standout edible groundcover with cascading clusters of bright red berries that cover the entire length of the stem—something rarely seen in wintergreen varieties. Unlike standard cultivars, its glossy evergreen foliage turns brilliant shades of orange and red in fall and winter, adding vibrant seasonal color to shady gardens.
This self-fertile native of the eastern United States produces waves of berries from late summer through late winter. Both the fruit and leaves carry the classic wintergreen flavor—refreshing, sweet, and minty like wintergreen candies. Berries can be enjoyed fresh, brewed into tea, infused into syrups, or churned into ice cream, while the aromatic leaves make soothing herbal teas.
Growing only about 6 inches tall and spreading outward 12 inches or more, Berry Cascade™ Wintergreen is an excellent low-maintenance groundcover for woodland gardens, shaded borders, or naturalized plantings. Plant in partial to full shade, in loose, acidic soil rich in organic matter, and space 12 inches apart for lush coverage.

FAQ
How are heights measured?
Tree and Shrub heights are measured from the top of the root ball or soil, measuring only the above ground portion of your tree or shrub.
How does shipping work?
We ship either UPS, FedEx, or via our own delivery trucks. After you place your order you'll receive notifications at each step of the way to keep you informed on your item's travels!
Many items are listed in Gallon sizes, what does that mean?
The Gallons refer to the size of the pot that the plant is in. It's simply an industry standard for sizing trees and shrubs. All of our items should have the actual height listed on the description page. If you have any questions regarding sizing, feel free to reach out to us!
