Introduce the beauty and functionality of Oregon Mountain Huckleberry plants to your landscape. This set of 6 live berry shrubs, ranging from 8-15 inches tall, is perfect for gardeners seeking a versatile, native plant with year-round appeal. These shrubs grow up to 4 feet tall with a similar spread, offering a compact yet striking presence in any garden.
In April, enjoy clusters of white to blush flowers that attract pollinators such as hummingbirds, bees, and butterflies.

The deep purple-blue berries, which ripen later in the season, are not only delicious for fresh eating, sauces, and preserves but also attract birds if left on the plant.
