Description
Eastern Teaberry is a charming evergreen with glossy green leaves and bright red berries that can persist well into winter. Its low, spreading form makes it particularly attractive in seasonal containers, woodland-inspired displays, and holiday arrangements. The berries stand out beautifully against the foliage, while the leaves release a familiar wintergreen fragrance when crushed. After the season, it can be planted outdoors as a hardy native perennial.
| Gaultheria procumbens | |
| The leaves and berries naturally contain the familiar wintergreen flavor and fragrance. The plant was historically used as a source of wintergreen flavoring, and its berries are edible. | |
| Keep it cool with bright, filtered light or partial shade. Use acidic, well-drained soil and avoid letting the root ball dry completely. |
