Gaultheria mucronata (M)
Gaultheria mucronata (M), also known as Gaultheria mucronata 'Mascula', is a compact male evergreen shrub with dense, bushy growth and small, glossy dark green leaves. Its pointed foliage brings texture and structure throughout the year, developing bronze tints in winter for added seasonal interest.
Small white, bell-shaped flowers, sometimes flushed with pink, appear in May and June. This male form produces no berries, but supplies pollen to compatible female Gaultheria mucronata plants nearby, helping them develop their colourful autumn and winter fruit.
Hardy and low maintenance, it is ideal for ericaceous borders, woodland edges and patio containers. Grow in partial shade with moist, well-drained acidic soil, keeping container plants watered during dry spells. It also tolerates full sun where the soil remains consistently moist. Use ericaceous compost when planting in pots.
