Partridgeberry is a woodland creeper that forms mat-like whorls along the forest floor. Its stems are smooth near the growing tip and have the sparsest of "hairs."

As the stems age, they spread by reproducing. They grow offshoots that emerge singly or in pairs from nodes below the previous year's fruit. After reproduction, branch stems emerge.

The partridge berry plant produces small, fragrant, white flowers in late spring and summer. After the blooms finish, elongated red berries appear. Partridgeberry fruit is edible, so harvest the berries to make jam or jelly.

It grows in forest habitats from New England, sweeping across to the Great Lakes region and as far south as Florida and Texas.
