An excellent ground cover or foundation plant that will do well in shady garden. Oregon grape will tolerate clay soils but does best with moist, loamy soil.

Adds color to the garden throughout the seasons. It has yellow flowers in the middle of spring and conspicuous blue berries (birds like) in the early summer and although it is evergreen, in fall the leaves turn bronze. Oregon grape is also fire resistant and is a larval host plant.
