If stunning ground cover is what you are after, then Winter Splash Variegated Wintergreenmay just be the answer. Botanically known as Gaultheria procumbens Winter Splash™, this variegated evergreen dwarf shrub is rather unusual. Featuring a 4 to 6-inch high cover of green and white variegated leaves that tinge pink in winter, it also develops small white blooms in summer that give way to red berries. 

Generally unfazed by disease or pests, Winter Splash Variegated Wintergreen™ is easy to grow and care for. Native to North America, it is part of the Ericaceae family and is adaptable for growing in zones 3 to 8. With a creeping habit, Winter Splash Variegated Wintergreen™ is perfect for naturalizing, adding to rock gardens, providing attractive groundcover and even growing in a container. 

Winter Splash Variegated WintergreenCare

Although tolerant of full shade, partial shade may help bring out the pink in the foliage. When it comes to the soil, it prefers a neutral to acidic substrate that is moist but free draining. To maintain plant health and its lush foliage, consistent moisture is required, especially during dry spells. The Winter Splash Variegated Wintergreen™ does not strictly require any supplementary fertilization. Nevertheless, you can apply an organic fertilizer in spring to help promote new growth.

Pruning is not required for this slow-growing cultivar, but it can be trimmed in spring. To help conserve moisture, you can apply a mulch of peat moss in spring as well. 

Winter Splash Variegated WintergreenSpacing

A plant spacing of around one foot is recommended, as the Winter Splash Variegated Wintergreen™ remains compact at 4 to 6 inches high and 10 to 12 inches wide.

Plant Addicts Warranty - 1 Year (Extra Purchase Required)

We encourage all plant lovers to purchase the Plant Addicts Warranty, whether you're a new gardener or an expert. There are many variables outside of anyone's control that can cause a plant to die. Hungry animals, drought, poor soil conditions, over watering, diseases & pests are all good examples of what can cause plants to die. The Plant Addicts Warranty is a 1 year warranty protecting you from all of the unknowns and will replace your plant if something were to happen to it.

The warranty is purchased on a per plant basis and must be purchased at the same time as the plant(s). We will cover 100% of the price of the plant, but the warranty does not cover shipping costs. SImply let us know if your plant has died within 1 year of receiving it and we will get you a new one shipped out as soon as possible (depending on the time of the year and availability). We may ask for photos for documentation purposes, but we try to make the process as easy as possible.

Guarantee and Warranty

Plant Shipping

Below are some factors we consider when determining when to ship the plants depending on the timing of the order.

Winter to Early Spring

We ship only when it's warm enough to plant in your growing zone.
Sometimes plants aren't completely ready to sell and ship in early spring. We will wait until the plants are ready before shipping so you don't get a subpar product.
For Southern plants we will be able to ship much earlier than plants coming from our northern nursery.

Summer

If there is extreme heat we may delay shipping for a week or several weeks.
We review what areas the plants are traveling through as well as your location.

Fall into Winter

We’ll ship plants out all the way up to the end of the fall planting season!

Winter

Get your order in early to reserve your plants for Spring planting!

Once your plant is shipped you’ll receive an automated email with tracking information.
