Marsh Andromeda

Marsh Andromeda (Andromeda polifolia) is a low-growing evergreen shrub native to the northern regions of North America and Eurasia, including Alaska, Alberta, and parts of Europe such as Austria and Belarus. It thrives in moist, wet environments with partial sun or shade, making it well-suited for boggy areas. This plant can be found across a wide range from Scandinavia and Russia to Japan and the United States. Known for its edible shoots, Marsh Andromeda is also notable for its light green foliage that turns a striking red in autumn, adding ornamental value to gardens and natural landscapes. Its ability to grow in various soil types, including sandy and medium-textured soils, makes it adaptable in different environments.
