Bunchberry

Bunchberry is an excellent woodland ground cover that grows about 25 cm tall with shiny dark green leaves belonging to the dogwood family. Its green flowers bloom from May to September, surrounded by four showy white bracts that look like huge flowers. The flowering dogwood tree has the same bracts. A cluster of edible red berries looks beautiful in late summer, and the leaves turn wine-red in the fall. Bunchberry spreads slowly by underground stems. 

Growing conditions:

Bunchberry requires acidic, cool, moist woodland soil and grows in coniferous and deciduous forests in part or full shade in the wild. You can add pine needles to acidify your soil.
