Holly-like leaves, evergreen year round. Yellow flowers followed by blue berries
The Oregon Grape, (Mahonia aquifolium) or Holly Grape, as they are also called, are evergreen shrubs that are native to the Pacific Northwest. They have leathery, compound leaves consisting of 5-9 Holly-like leaflets on each side that emerge with a nice reddish-bronze color in spring, before turning to dark green. Oregon Grapes are capable of growing up to 6 feet tall and 5-6 feet wide, making them a perfect choice for a barrier or hedge. Terminal clusters of small, bright yellow, lightly scented flowers appear in early to mid-spring and are followed by clusters of small, edible, grape-like fruits by late summer. Grows best in partial shade.
The berries make an awesome jam. The roots are used to make a herbal tea.
Oregon grape plants are extremely beneficial and attractive to wildlife. Flowers provide for pollinators like bees, moths, butterflies, and hummingbirds, while the fruits, which may remain on the plant into winter, are favorites among birds.
GERMINATION, SOWING AND AFTER CARE
Oregon Grape seeds require 3 weeks of cold stratification.
For the best results, the seed should be sown in the garden as soon as it is fully ripened in the fall, for germination during the following spring.
Stored seeds may take up to six months to germinate.
When starting Oregon Grape seeds indoors, place them in moistened planting mix and store them in the refrigerator for 3 weeks prior to sowing.
Maintain a temperature of 50° in the growing medium until germination, which takes about 6 weeks if the seeds are fresh
