Lovely Aroma and Looks

This plant adds so much character to the garden—deep green leaves, a hint of mint in the air, and those small red berries. Plus, it keeps things tidy and low.

A Native Gem for the Garden

I've been adding more native plants to my yard, and this one really impressed me. Wintergreen is not only useful but looks good too. Very satisfied with the seed quality.

Surprisingly Hardy and Beautiful

I planted a few rows along a stone path and they’ve stayed green and vibrant even through frost. Very low maintenance and adds year-round beauty.

Great for Woodland Edges

These seeds were slow to start but worth the wait. The glossy green leaves and subtle minty scent really add something special to the edge of my shade garden.

Fragrant Groundcover with a Pop of Red

I planted these under some shady trees, and they filled in beautifully. The leaves smell amazing when crushed, and the red berries are a charming surprise in late season.
