Creeping Oregon Grape
Plant Details
Plant Type: Shrub
Plant Family: Berberidaceae
Plant Description: A native, low-growing broadleaf evergreen shrub that looks great in every season. Dark green holly-like leaves emerge red and turn burgundy during the winter. Bright yellow flowers bloom in spring followed by blue berries. Berries are edible but quite sour. Adaptable to many soil types and does well in full sun or full shade. Reasonably drought tolerant. One of the best choices for problematic dry shade sites.
