Mahonia repens

The Creeping Oregon grape, also known as the creeping barberry, is an evergreen, prostrate shrub native to western North America. Plants are low-growing, forming dense mats that can spread several feet wide yet reaching only one or two feet high. In the wild, Creeping Oregon Grape is found in rocky landscapes, often growing at high elevations. In fact, we’ve seen these plants growing at over 9,000 feet above sea level in the Rocky Mountains. Plants are adaptable from full sun to heavy shade, are drought tolerant, and take on lovely pastel-pink colors on their leaves during the coldest months.

In early spring, the shrub produces small, sweetly-scented, yellow flowers that are followed by clusters of small, blue-purple berries in late summer or fall. Creeping Oregon Grape berries are edible and can be used to make preserves, jams, and beverages. They can be quite tart raw, but are delicious when cooked and sweetened.

Cold hardy to USDA Zone 5a or to -20 degrees Fahrenheit.
