10 Live Plants Oregon Grape Mahonia aquifolium Evergreen Shrub 6in
Oregon Grape is a versatile evergreen shrub known for its holly-like foliage, clusters of bright yellow spring blooms, and blue-black berries in late summer, offering year-round ornamental interest for borders, hedges, and naturalized plantings. Its leathery, spiny-edged leaves emerge with bronze tones before maturing to deep green, making it a dependable choice for gardeners seeking durable structure and seasonal color.
This shrub works well in woodland gardens, foundation plantings, and wildlife-friendly landscapes where its dense habit provides cover and its nectar-rich flowers attract pollinators. The tart berries can be used in jellies and preserves once fully ripe, while the foliage delivers consistent texture and color across the seasons. These plants arrive ready to establish in the garden with minimal initial care.
