This low-growing evergreen offers glossy green leaves that turn a deep purplish-red in the cooler months, providing year-round visual interest. But it doesn’t stop there — come late summer, delicate white or pink flowers emerge, later giving way to brilliant red berries. Beyond its visual charm, crush a leaf between your fingers to release its iconic wintergreen scent. Perfect for ground cover or shaded woodland gardens, this native North American shrub brings a mix of beauty, fragrance, and a touch of wildness to any landscape.
