Product Description
Bright red berries call our attention to a creeping evergreen creeping vine six inches to twelve inches long with roundish leaves. Upon close examination these berries will be found to have two "eyes". This comes from the fact that twin flowers work together to form one berry.In late spring, two beautiful white flowers each open their four petals to entice insects to collect their nectar. A berry will stay on the vine until after the blooms appear in the spring unless a hungry bird finds it nestled among the fallen winter leaves.
Partridge berry is a member of the Bedstraw or Madder Family (Rubiacea). The stems often take root at the nodes and form a mat. It transplants easily, grows quickly, but rarely becomes a pest. Try it in a shady spot, or in a terrarium. Hardy in zones 3-9. Also make a great house plant.
Linnaeus named this plant Mitchella for his friend John Mitchell (a physician, naturalist, plant lover, and cartographer), who developed a method of treating yellow fever victims and saved thousands of lives; and repens because it is a trailing or creeping plant..
