Discover the enchanting Mitchella repens, often known as Partridge Berry, a captivating, mat-forming evergreen perennial native to the serene woodlands of eastern North America. Perfect for shade gardens, this prostrate plant enhances landscapes with its dark green, glossy leaves adorned with whitish veins. Blooming in late spring, Partridge Berry boasts fragrant, four-lobed, funnel-shaped white flowers, delicately flushed with pink. These exquisite blooms transform into round, bright red berries by late summer, often persisting through the winter. Despite their lack of flavor, these berries are a treat for the eyes during the cold months.

Ideal for organically rich, well-drained soils in part to full shade, Partridge Berry serves as an excellent ground cover, enhancing woodland gardens, border fronts, and rock gardens. Although it may take time to establish, its trailing stems root at nodes efficiently, forming lush colonies in optimal conditions. Versatile and low-maintenance, it thrives with consistent moisture yet tolerates drought once settled. Celebrate the essence of the forest floor as Partridge Berry weaves its evergreen charm into your garden sanctuary.
