How high and wide will Gaultheria procumbens grow?

kent, United Kingdom

how high and wide do they grow? how long do the berries last?

Following your advice i've planted them in Levingtons Lime-Free Soil, I have put them in hanging baskets as I thought they would look nice for xmas, would this be OK or should they be moved on?

They're very aesthetically pleasing either side of my front porch.

Regards,

The partridge berry. Creeping wintergreen.
2"- 6" tall with dark green leaves, pink flowers and bright red fruit. Grow in a lime free soil.
The berries will last until hard frost or taken by birds.
