Bearberry plants are slow-growing, creeping, evergreen shrubs with trailing red stems studded with small, leathery, glossy, obovate, dark green leaves. The foliage turns red or purplish in winter before becoming green again in spring while pretty clusters of lantern-shaped, white-to-pink flowers hang gracefully from the short red stems in mid to late spring. They are followed by edible, smooth and glossy berries which ripen to bright red in the fall. Bearberries are excellent ground cover with year round interest and is also perfect for banks and slopes (erosion control), shrub borders, prairies and meadows, rock gardens or cascading over walls.
