Arctostaphylos uva-ursi 'Michigan' (Bearberry)

Arctostaphylos uva-ursi 'Michigan', commonly known as Bearberry, is a low-growing evergreen shrub native to North America. It features small, glossy, dark green leaves that turn bronze in winter, and produces clusters of small white or pinkish flowers in spring. The plant is often used as ground cover due to its ability to form dense mats over the ground. Bearberry is deer-resistant and drought-tolerant, making it a popular choice for gardens with challenging conditions.
