Arctostaphylos uva-ursi ‘Vancouver Jade’ Kinnikinnick Bearberry

A groundcover that plays the long game, and wins. Dark, glossy green leaves shimmer like polished jade in spring and summer, setting the stage for delicate clusters of soft pink flowers that bring in pollinators. But it doesn’t stop there—when the temperatures drop, those same leaves ignite in deep red and bronze, like nature’s own autumn bonfire. And just when you think the show is over, bright red berries arrive, hanging on like tiny ornaments all winter long. Hardy, drought-tolerant, and tough as nails, this low-growing powerhouse spreads effortlessly over rocky slopes, dry landscapes, and woodland gardens, creating a living carpet of year-round color.
