Description:
Mitchella repens, commonly known as partridgeberry, is a creeping, evergreen shrub with dark green, shiny leaves and small white flowers that turn into bright red berries. Native to North America, it thrives in shaded areas with dry or moist soil, making it an excellent groundcover for woodland gardens. The berries, while edible, are tasteless and have been used traditionally for medicinal purposes. This plant is ideal for underplanting with hostas and ferns, adding a touch of natural beauty to shaded garden areas.
