Gaultheria


Gaultheria with a massive berry set?  It’s one of our specialties here at Qualitree!  Also known as “Wintergreen”, Gaultheria procumbens has soft white/pink, bell-shaped flowers that turn into big red berries by fall. These berries release a winterfresh fragrance when crushed, that instantly reminds you of wintergreen flavoured chewing gum!  Gaultheria does incredibly well as an indoor plant and because it is hardy to most of North America it also works outdoors and is perfectly suited for brightening up any type of container garden combination.

Gaultheria procumbens, commonly known as Wintergreen, is a low-spreading evergreen shrub. In winter, this plant turns heads with round, scarlet berries nestled in clusters of glossy leaves that turn hues of deep red. Leaves and berries have the aroma of minty wintergreen when crushed. A festive addition to holiday planters. Native to Eastern Canada.
