Wintergreen, or Pernettya mucronata, is an ornamental plant that brings a touch of natural beauty to any exterior. Originally from South America, this plant is particularly appreciated for its resistance to difficult weather conditions and its ease of maintenance.

Physically, wintergreen appears in the form of a low shrub, with a diameter of 12 cm and a height of 20 cm. Its leaves are evergreen, dark green in color, and pointed at their ends, hence the epithet "mucronata" which means "mucronate" or "pointed".

In fall and winter, wintergreen is adorned with white berries which contrast magnificently with the dark green of its leaves. These berries are not only aesthetically pleasing, but also popular with birds, making them a great choice for those who want to encourage wildlife in their garden.

In terms of care, mucronate wintergreen is a very easy outdoor plant to maintain. It prefers acidic, moist but well-drained soil and a sunny to partial shade location. Once established, it needs little watering and is disease resistant.
