Pigeonberry

Pigeonberry (Rivina humilis) is a versatile perennial herb that thrives in moist, well-drained soils, including sand, loam, and clay. Preferring medium water use, it flourishes in partial shade, often found growing beneath trees and shrubs. This plant is known for its delicate white to pink flowers and vibrant red berries, which often appear simultaneously, adding visual interest throughout the year. Pigeonberry serves as a choice food source for birds, while its moderate deer resistance enhances its value in garden settings.
