Do you have this Paul? I saw it yesterday in the GC...never seen it before, but it makes a great replacement for my Cranberries which I had to remove as they were so straggly and spreading everywhere...not pretty border plants...and they didn't produce enough berries for my Christmas table either! This is much greener and more compact. Same family of plants.

No not this - looks like pieris type leaves - I do have mullberry Gaultheria which are great and similar too. Have 3 males and 5 females of that shrub

No Julia, its got loads of little buds on which are very pretty. Its just like a cross between a Pieris and a blueberry in miniature! Lovely little thing...only grows to 15cm but should spread out nicely.
Yes Paul, similar to the gaultheria but smaller leaves and sort of 'bushier'!

Yes, I thought so Homebird. Great for winter colour.

Thank you DD and Sheila. I've planted it under Prunus Kojo-no-mai to give a litte winter colour. Its only a small plant, but is supposed to have a spreading habit.

I like this one too Karen and I've got to say that seeing your new photo of yourself reminds me of my friend so much who is also called Karen.
