Description

Gaultheria 'Snow White' is a compact evergreen shrub that reaches an approximate height and spread of 1.5m. Its dark green, spine-tipped leaves provide a lovely contrast to the small, urn-shaped white flowers that bloom in spring and summer. Adding further interest, large white berries, sometimes with pink speckles, appear in autumn and last through winter, brightening the garden during the colder months. This low-maintenance shrub thrives in moist but well-drained soils and is best suited to a partially shaded position, making it an ideal choice for year-round appeal.

AKA: prickly heath 'Sneeuwwitje', Gaultheria mucronata 'Snow White', Gaultheria mucronata Snow White

 
Planting Steps

Aftercare Advice

Trees and shrubs require a good watering regime for a couple of years whilst they establish. Water well and regularly through spring and summer, increasing in hot or dry weather. If planting in autumn, you may only need to water a little. It is advisable to keep the area free of competing weeds and grass during this period.
