Mitchella repens / PARTRIDGE BERRY
Mitchella repens, commonly known as Partridge Berry, is a low-growing, evergreen perennial that makes an excellent ground cover for shaded or woodland gardens. This plant features glossy, dark green leaves and produces small, white, tubular flowers in late spring to early summer, which give way to bright red berries that persist into the fall and winter, adding seasonal interest. The plant's creeping, vine-like growth habit allows it to spread and form dense mats, making it perfect for underplanting or filling in between rocks and other plants. Partridge Berry thrives in moist, well-drained, acidic soil and performs best in partial to full shade, offering both texture and color to shaded landscapes. With its attractive foliage, charming flowers, and vibrant berries, Mitchella repens adds a touch of elegance and year-round interest to any garden.
