BEARBERRY
Extremely hardy, Bearberry, or Kinnikinnick, forms an attractive dense groundcover in situations where few other plants can survive. Spreading gradually by surface rhizomes to form a mat, it grows naturally near sandy beaches and dry rocky slopes. Perfect for rock gardens, Bearberry looks great trailing over a garden wall. The glossy green foliage turns purple bronze in winter and greens up again in the spring. Dainty white-pink flowers appear mid spring, lasting several weeks, and the bright red berries that follow are forage for birds and small mammals. Bearberry is deer resistant, however! Highly drought tolerant, Bearberry does prefer slightly acidic soil.
