Squawvine
Mitchella repens
Squawvine is a charming native groundcover that forms a dense, evergreen mat in shady woodland gardens. It prefers acidic, humus-rich, consistently moist soil and dappled shade, making it ideal under trees or along shaded pathways. Established plants need little care beyond keeping the soil moist and mulching to retain moisture.
