Description

Mitchella repens is a mat-forming evergreen perennial with dainty pinkish-white flowers in late spring. Its common name, Partridge Berry, comes from its delightful scarlet red berries that birds love to feast on.

At only 2" tall, Partridge Berry makes an excellent ground cover in shaded areas. It can be grown under trees and shrubs without fear of it climbing. It is a politely slow spreader, and may not be ideal for large areas.

Mitchella repens is native to Eastern North America where it grows in woodlands and along stream banks. Bring a touch of natural heritage to your garden and attract birds with Mitchella repens Partridge Berry!

We ship via UPS & USPS (the Post Office), and their ship rates are automatically generated through our site. We do not profit on shipping costs. We are working with these providers to get our customers the best rates possible.

All ship times are subject to change if extreme weather conditions are present here at the nursery or at the shipping destination.

Please note: Depending on the time of year, the foliage of the plants may be trimmed to fit into our shipping boxes. This could delay the flowering of the plant, but many perennials actually benefit from being cut back.
