The Plant

Mitchella repens is native to North America. Found among hemlock, you’ll often find this plant in moist forests. It is a vine that will spread and take over quite quickly. Flowers emerge in mid-summer and give way to red berries. The berries are edible and have a unique flavor. It is a threatened plant, and caution must be taken if wild harvesting. It’s quite easy to grow in containers or a small plot of the home garden, but caution must be taken to keep this vine from taking over!
