Arctostaphylos uva-ursi

Arctostaphylos uva-ursi, commonly known as Kinnikinnick, is a low-growing evergreen shrub native to North America and parts of Europe and Asia. It is valued for its attractive foliage, small pink or white flowers, and red berries, making it a versatile ground cover plant for gardens and landscapes.

This hardy, spreading shrub typically reaches a height of about 15–30 cm, with trailing branches that spread wide. The leaves are small, leathery, and glossy, providing year-round interest. In early spring, Arctostaphylos uva-ursi produces clusters of bell-shaped flowers, which are followed by bright red berries in late summer and fall, adding color and texture to the plant.

Arctostaphylos uva-ursi thrives in well-drained, sandy or rocky soils and prefers full sun to partial shade. It is highly drought-tolerant once established, making it ideal for xeriscaping or low-maintenance garden designs. It can also tolerate poor soils and cold temperatures, making it an excellent choice for harsh climates.

This plant is often used as ground cover, in rock gardens, or along slopes, where it helps prevent soil erosion while adding visual interest with its foliage and berries. It is also a favorite for attracting wildlife, including birds that feed on the berries.

With its evergreen nature, beautiful flowers, and red berries, Arctostaphylos uva-ursi makes an excellent choice for gardeners seeking a low-maintenance, drought-tolerant ground cover that offers year-round beauty.
