Gaultheria procumbens - checkerberry
Checkerberry is an evergreen sub-shrub which spreads into mats about 15 cm high by sending out runners. It has decorative leaves, flowers and berries. The leaves are oval, entire, dark green and shiny. The small bell-shaped white flowers appear in early summer in the leaf axils, either singly or in small clusters of 2-3. In autumn, bright red decorative berries ripen which last through the winter.
