Vaccinium crassifolium
Creeping blueberry is a low, evergreen groundcover shrub native to the coastal plains of the southeastern United States, grown in landscaping and valued for its glossy foliage. It thrives in sunny, well-drained, acidic conditions similar to its pine barren home.
Vaccinium crassifolium, or the creeping blueberry, is a species of Vaccinium, part of the heath family. It is native to a portion of the Southeastern United States.
Vaccinium crassifolium is native to the coastal plain of Georgia, the Carolinas, and southeastern Virginia, especially in pine barrens but also in disturbed settings like roadsides and other open areas.
The leaves resemble those of bearberry (Arctostaphylos uva-ursi) and may be used in the latter's place in herbal medicine.
