A Pacific Northwest forest shrub, Salal's landscape potential is often overlooked. Shiny, long-lasting leaves, showy flowers and edible fruit. Low-maintenance landscape border. Prune low every 3-5 years.
A real dwarf at only 3-4 feet tall! Because of this smaller stature it will work in so many tight spaces that winterberry wouldn't fit into before. It has red fruit. From the European breeding program of Peter Kolster, brought to the USA by Plants Nouveau.
Smaller in stature than other selections, 4 feet, it has red fruit. From the European breeding program of Peter Kolster, brought to the USA by Plants Nouveau.
2-4 ft. shrub native across a broad swath in the upper latitudes of North America. Small pink flowers emerge in summer followed by white berries in the fall. Hummingbirds are attracted to the flowers. Its strong root system makes this shrub useful to control erosion on steep slopes of an embankment. Tolerates wet soils as well, so it is frequently used in riparian restoration. Used as an ornamental, easy to grow and gratifying with its persistent winter fruits. Occasionally head it back for best ornamental performance.
