Partridgeberry, Mitchella repens L., is a low growing ground cover, which is low enough that a mower at the highest setting should usually go over it. It is evergreen and has a pair of terminal white flowers that produces just one red berry, and for this reason it it also called twinflower. The berries are reportedly edible, but so tasteless as to not be worth the trouble of bending over to pick any considering that bottled water has more flavor. As a ground cover the sparse coverage and slow rate of growth will not choke out many weeds (thus the occasional need to mow), but it is good in areas with partial shade that are undisturbed or naturalized, and it can even be grown as a container plant such as an accessory plant for bonsai.
