Gaultheria mucronata (Pernettya) 'Pink Form'
Pernettya mucronata 'Pink Form' is a compact, evergreen shrub admired for its bright display of berries and neat growth habit. In spring, small white to pale pink flowers appear among the glossy green foliage, often unnoticed, but they are followed in autumn by masses of rounded pink berries that persist well into winter. These long-lasting berries add colour and seasonal cheer to the garden during the colder months.
Best planted in groups for maximum berry effect, ‘Pink Form’ is ideal for borders, pots, or as groundcover in acidic soils. It thrives in full sun or partial shade and requires a male plant nearby to ensure pollination and good berry production. Low maintenance and hardy, this variety is perfect for extending seasonal interest and bringing vivid autumn and winter colour.
