Gaultheria mucronata (Pernettya) 'Bell's Seedling'
Gaultheria mucronata 'Bell's Seedling', formerly known as Pernettya 'Bell's Seedling', is a compact female evergreen shrub with a dense, bushy habit and glossy dark green foliage. Its neat growth provides attractive year-round colour and structure.
Small white to pale pink flowers appear in spring and, when pollinated by a compatible male plant, develop into masses of bright red berries. The decorative fruits ripen in autumn and remain attractive well into winter, bringing vivid colour during the colder months.
Hardy and low maintenance, 'Bell's Seedling' thrives in moist, well-drained acidic soil in full sun or partial shade. It is ideal for ericaceous borders, patio containers and woodland-style planting, with a male Gaultheria grown nearby to ensure reliable berry production.
