Description

Wintergreen (Gaultheria procumbens) 'Winter Splash™' is the only variegated Wintergreen on the market, offering a striking blend of white and green leaves that gradually turn pink in the winter, creating year-round interest. In summer, small white flowers bloom, followed by bright red berries that attract wildlife and provide a natural food source. This slow-growing, creeping evergreen is ideal for naturalizing, covering banks, or adding texture to rock gardens.

'Winter Splash™' thrives in part to full shade, planted in organically rich, evenly moist, well-drained soil. It's perfect for planting 1' apart for ground coverage, and mulching with peat moss helps retain moisture. This low-maintenance selection requires no pruning and is resistant to deer. The wintergreen-scented foliage adds a pleasant fragrance, making it a lovely choice for any garden.
