How to grow partridgeberry

Mitchella repens

When to plant partridgeberry

Partridgeberry is a delicate evergreen native groundcover that carpets shady ground with paired white flowers in summer (NC State: spring into summer), followed by bright red berries that persist through winter. Plant in spring or fall in moist, humus-rich shade; it is slow-growing and best suited to smaller woodland sites.

Partridgeberry is timed by season rather than your frost dates, so the planting calendar does not generate ZIP-specific dates for it. Check the cited sources below to fine-tune for your area.
