Looking for an ornamental plant that is both beautiful and low-maintenance? Look no further than Vaccinium ovatum, also known as the evergreen huckleberry or California huckleberry. This small to medium-sized shrub is native to the Western Pacific Coast of the United States and coastal British Columbia, and is perfect for natural landscape and habitat gardens. It thrives in acidic soils and can grow well in shade or sun. In summer it produces round, edible black berries up to a centimeter in diameter, traditionally sought after and collected by many Native American tribes. Cultivated by specialty wholesale, retail, and botanic garden native plant nurseries, this plant can add depth and beauty to any garden. So why wait? Add an evergreen huckleberry to your collection and watch as it thrives for years to come.
