Arctostaphylos uva-ursi
Kinnikinnick, or Bearberry, is a hardy, native evergreen groundcover prized for its glossy green leaves, delicate pink bell-shaped flowers, and vibrant red berries that provide winter interest.
About Kinnikinnick and growing it in Alberta
Thriving in sandy or rocky soils from full sun to part shade, it is ideal for slopes, erosion control, and low-maintenance landscapes. Drought tolerant once established, it supports native wildlife, is long-lived, slow to establish, and resistant to deer and most pests.
