Online Orchards 1 Gal. Pacific Evergeen Huckleberry Plant

The Pacific Evergreen Huckleberry is one of the most versatile and underused native plants of the Pacific Northwest. It provides a regional feel to gardens and helps define a landscape with evergreen color and edible tasty berries. Typically thought of as a woodland plant, it performs equally well in full sun. In spring its small, leathery leaves have tones of copper and bronze and they mature to shiny dark green. Vase-shaped white flowers hang under the foliage in spring, transforming to succulent blue-black berries by late summer which make delicious jam or jelly. The small leaves of this shrub create a fine texture, but its slightly irregular growth habit keeps it interesting. It contrasts well with plants with larger leaves, such as rhododendrons. Use evergreen huckleberry in informal groupings or as a natural low screen. Surprisingly, it will also shear into a dense formal hedge 2.
