Kinnikinick Massachusetts

A hardy evergreen groundcover that forms a dense, spreading mat over time. With a low growth of 6-12 inches and the ability to spread several feet, it’s ideal for covering slopes, rock gardens, borders, or as a living carpet beneath shrubs. In spring, it produces clusters of delicate urn-shaped blossoms in shades of pale pink or creamy white, which attract early pollinators. These are followed by red berries that often persist into winter, providing both visual interest and food for birds. The foliage stays glossy green through much of the year, shifting toward bronze or red tones in colder months for seasonal accent. Low maintenance, deer-resistant, and winter hardy.
