 w GAULTHERIA PROCUMBENS WINTERGRBBN
Gaultheria procumbens (wintergreen) is a hardy and extremely easy-going eastern North American native, evergreen groundcover, suitable for zones 3-9. The oils of the plant have been used to flavor candies, chewing gum, medicines and more, while the berries may be eaten fresh or cooked. In the wild, wintergreen is typically found growing in the dappled shade of the forest floor. Wintergreens are members of the blueberry family, and often have a somewhat similar, charming appearance, though much smaller. Aside from ‘Winter Splash’, our highly ornamental variegated cultivar, wintergreens have deep green, fragrant and glossy leaves which turn burgundy with cooler weather. Their summer flowers are racemes of many delicate white bells, which lead to large, red, edible fruits. The plants have a festive appearance, especially when adorned with their red winter berries. They are an outstanding choice for holiday arrangements, and perform rather well indoors. In the landscape, wintergreens are useful plants for shady areas where other groundcovers struggle. They are also delightful additions to rock, winter, shade and woodland gardens, as well as containers.

Great new website; and, as always, THE best and most unusual plants available. In this era of mass ordinariness - in interior design, landscape design - it is a breath of fresh air to see such a wide range of lovelies beckoning. Thank you.
A trip to Forest Farm is on my bucket list!
With gratitude,
– Claire


I’m so impressed with the health and beauty of the plants from ForestFarm. I live in NYC and ordered twice this season - it’s worth it to receive such a selection from this nursery. I love the accurate descriptions of the flowers and shrubs and the range of plants. Wonderful!
