It occurs throughout boreal regions of Europe and Asia but is absent from eastern North America. Perennial herb (not wintergreen). Rootstock thin, creeping, many-rooted. Chickweed wintergreen’s sexual reproduction is inefficient, pollinators are rarely seen at its flowers. The seeds rarely develop and hardly ever germinate among the crowded plants. The species propagates more efficiently through its runners, which each plant develops two or three, over one metre long. These runners help the species efficiently colonise disturbed areas. Chickweed wintergreen is however also able to grow in relatively shady areas: the leaves of the crown rosette do not cover each other, so they are able to make use of little light. 0443
