Bearberry ‘Vancouver Jade’

Arctostaphylos uva-ursi 'Vancouver Jade', or bearberry 'Vancouver Jade', is a refined and very hardy groundcover selection, cultivated for its shiny, dense, dark green foliage, which is decorative all year round. This variety forms an even, closely ground-hugging plant carpet, which brightens up in spring with pinkish-white bell-shaped flowers, followed by delicate-looking red berries, prized by birds. Perfect for slopes, poor, sandy, or acidic soils, it provides persistent, understated, and elegant ground cover with no maintenance. 'Vancouver Jade' stands out for its very uniform shape, its drought tolerance once established, and its ecological value in naturalistic or restoration landscaping.
