Sprigs or dwarf shrubs are short plants with woody stems. Plants that are over half a meter tall are considered shrubs.

The most well-known forest sprigs include the berry-bearing blueberry and lingonberry. 

Heather is an important sprig for bees. Their flowers contain a lot of nectar, which bees use to make honey.

Other forest sprigs include the twinflower, which can often be seen creeping over mosses on the forest floor, and the crowberry, which can be identified by its needle-like leaves.

The picture on the right displays the wild rosemary, which is a sprig species that thrives in wet forests and bogs.
