Wintergreen Teaberry (Gaultheria procumbens)

Wintergreen Teaberry is an understory plant in the blueberry family.  It is commonly found in hardwood forests with light to moderate shade and acidic soil. It will also grow in moist organically enriched soil and clay, and it grows best in moist well-drained soil.  It makes an excellent groundcover in shady areas of the landscape, tolerating even heavy shade.
