Introducing our 9cm Gaultheria, a charming and versatile addition to your UK garden that brings year-round interest and a touch of elegance. These compact evergreen shrubs thrive in partially shaded to shaded positions, making them perfect for planting in woodland gardens, as ground cover, or as edging plants. With their dainty white, bell-shaped flowers and colorful berries, Gaultheria offers beauty and resilience to your outdoor space.

Gaultheria typically blooms in late spring to early summer, adorning your garden with delicate, nodding white flowers that attract pollinators like bees and butterflies. These pollinators play a vital role in garden ecosystems, enhancing biodiversity and supporting plant life.

To ensure the health and vibrancy of your Gaultheria, provide them with a slow-release, acidic fertilizer in late winter or early spring, just as new growth begins. This feeding regimen supports their growth and flowering.

Pruning requirements for Gaultheria are minimal. Simply remove any dead or damaged branches in late winter or early spring to encourage healthy new growth. Gaultheria’s colorful berries also add seasonal interest and provide a food source for birds during the winter months, enhancing your garden’s ecological value.

Choose the 9cm Gaultheria for a versatile, year-round beauty that not only adds visual appeal but also contributes to the well-being of pollinators and local wildlife, creating a more vibrant and dynamic garden ecosystem.
