Looking for an ornamental that will add interest to your natural landscaping, habitat garden, or restoration project? Consider Vaccinium parvifolium, also known as the red huckleberry. This deciduous shrub grows up to 4 meters tall, with bright green shoots and ovate to oblong-elliptic leaves. Its edible fruit is a bright red to orange berry, 6-10 mm in diameter. Indigenous peoples of North America used the plant and its fruit extensively for food, medicine, and household tools. Today, Vaccinium parvifolium is also cultivated as an ornamental plant. While it requires acidic soil and does not tolerate root disturbance, it is a beautiful addition to any natural landscape, and will attract wildlife to your garden. Whether you're looking to add a splash of color to your backyard or create a landscape that is both functional and beautiful, the red huckleberry is an excellent choice.
