{"product_id":"cascade-oregon-grape-berberis-nervosa","title":"Cascade Oregon Grape (Berberis nervosa)","description":"\u003cp\u003eCascade oregon grape is a shade-loving evergreen shrub, growing up to 2' tall. It provides year-round visual interest with its dark green, spiny, 12\" long compound leaves that resemble holly. Older leaves turn shades of red and purple. Long, narrow clusters of bright yellow fragrant flowers appear in spring, attracting pollinators. In summer, the clusters ripen to purplish-blue berries, which are edible but tart. Oregon grape is drought tolerant once established, but can grow in irrigated sites. The plants are slow to establish and do not transplant well, so care should be taken when siting them. This plant is rhizomatous and will spread very slowly to create a lovely, soil-stabilizing evergreen groundcover. Does well in the shade of conifers.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSun Exposure:\u003c\/strong\u003e Partial shade, full shade\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSoil \u0026amp; Moisture:\u003c\/strong\u003e Moist to seasonally moist, well-drained, slightly acidic, humus-rich soil\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMature Size:\u003c\/strong\u003e up to 2' tall, rhizomatous\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBloom Time:\u003c\/strong\u003e Spring\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eEdible:\u003c\/strong\u003e Yes (berries)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWildlife Value: \u003c\/strong\u003eAttracts bees, butterflies, hummingbirds, and other pollinators.
