Description
Holiday wintergreen (Gaultheria procumbens) is a small evergreen shrub with glossy green foliage that looks amazing in planters surrounded by tinsel, reindeer, and any other festive décor! The gorgeous scarlet-red berries round out the Christmas cheer and look fabulous in holiday tablescapes. Wintergreen berries aren’t the only interesting thing about this plant; the foliage is very aromatic when crushed, emitting a beautiful spearmint and birch scent. Ships in black nursery pot.
Plant spacing is based on the ultimate width of the plants. This figure is normally given as a range; for example, 3-5’. If you live in a cold climate and/or want plants to fill in more quickly, plan to space at the shorter end of the range. If you live in a warm climate, are on a limited budget, or are willing to wait longer for plants to touch, use the higher end of the range. Using the larger number is recommended when calculating distance from a building or structure. There’s really no such thing as "maximum spacing": if you don’t want your plants to touch, you can space them as far apart as you’d like. All plant spacing is calculated on center, or in other words, the centers of the plants are spaced one half of their eventual width apart:
Unless you are planting in a straight line, as you might for hedges or edging, space your plants in a staggered or zig-zag pattern for a more interesting and naturalistic look:
Decked out with tinsel and garland or centered in family gatherings, living Christmas trees and wintergreens evoke a sense of nostalgia and warm fuzzy feelings in the home. Here, we’ll introduce our new living holiday trees that look fabulous paired with your festive tablescapes and décor.
The plants came in the mail healthy & full of berries. I have planted them outside as eventual groundcover. They are doing great peeking out from under the autumn leaves around my azaleas.
I purchased two of these. One looked pretty "sad" and the other looked okay. But both did not make it more than a couple of weeks (meant to be inside for the holidays in Wisconsin).
Beautiful
I am in love with this little shrub! It's red berries are so festive with my Christmas decorations. I've recommended it to all of my friends, and now we all have one lol.
Absolutely beautiful and healthy. Love this.
