A ground cover plant, Gaultheria procumbens, also sometimes called Eastern teaberry, the checkerberry, the boxberry, or the American wintergreen, is great for growing in difficult, shaded parts of the garden with minimum fuss, and will prevent weeds from growing. It can also be planted on sloping ground, making it a good alternative to lawn turf. It has small waxy leaves that turn a warm red by October. Small white, bell shaped flowers are followed by a profusion of bright red berries in autumn and winter, making it an ideal festive gift plant for Christmas colour in the garden and front entrance to homes. Height: 15cm (6"). Spread 100cm (39").

Grow Gaultheria procumbens in any moist, well drained garden soil, in full shade or part shade. If growing Gaultheria in containers use a soil based compost such as John Innes No.3.
Prune Gaultheria procumbens when necessary to keep them neat and in good shape. Pruning should be done carefully with secateurs rather than shears, but can be done at any time of year.
