Features: This is the lower growing, under-story variety of our native Oregon grape. It blooms early in the spring and provides a food source for pollinators. Its short size makes it a more suitable plant for a flower garden when compared to tall Oregon grape. Berries into the fall add a nice feature to a home garden and can provide some extra food for wildlife.
