What is this plant

[Mulledmead]

Novice here and suspect I have made yet another schoolboy error. I went to garden centre and saw these plants, I asked the man what it was and he told me, said it was evergreen and would remain compact. But I can't for the life of me remember what he said it was. I have bought three little pots that have no label, so can anyone help? Thanks!

Gaultheria procumbens? Definitely in the Ericaceae family.

plantNet app saysEastern Wintergreen. Latin name as above.

Thank you both. That's super helpful!

They have nice berries later if I remember correctly - but mine got demolished by rabbits - whereas other plants were ignored.

eastern Wintergreen is a US name. It’s sometimes known as Checkerberry, but gardeners mostly simply call it Gaultheria. Gaultheria procumbens to distinguish from Gaultheria mucronata which used to be Pernettya.
