It stays green all summer long and, despite being a wet-loving plant, is surprisingly drought-tolerant. In fact, drought conditions can help keep this aggressive plant in check in smaller urban gardens. While it tends to outcompete and overtake smaller herbaceous plants in its path, it is generally self-regulated to areas with sufficient moisture. And though its vigorous nature can give it a bit of a bad rap, it redeems itself ten-fold by its extraordinary ecological function. Slough sedge stabilizes banks, controls erosion, maintains healthy hydrologic function in waterways, and provides sediment retention and nutrient uptake.

Be sure to provide this tree with plenty of room to grow, as its lower branches can reach up to 20' in diameter and it can reach a height of up to 250' in its long lifespan. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTry it in shady areas with d\u003cspan\u003eeciduous trees like red alder (\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cem\u003eAlnus rubra\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cspan\u003e) and vine maple (\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cem\u003eAcer circinatum\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cspan\u003e), shrubs such as \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eevergreen huckleberry \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cem\u003e(V. ovatum\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cspan\u003e), \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003esalal (\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cem\u003eGaultheria shallon\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cspan\u003e), osoberry (\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cem\u003eOemleria cerasiformis) \u003c\/em\u003eand herbaceous species like \u003cspan\u003epacific bleeding heart (\u003cem\u003eDicentra formosa\u003c\/em\u003e), piggy-back plant (\u003cem\u003eTolmiea menziesii)\u003c\/em\u003e, Hooker’s \u003c\/span\u003efairy bells\u003cspan\u003e (\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cem\u003eDisporum hookeri\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cspan\u003e), \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003estreambank violet (\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cem\u003eViola glabella\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cspan\u003e), ferns—such as western sword fern (\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cem\u003ePolystichum munitum\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cspan\u003e), deer fern (\u003cem\u003eBlechnum spicant\u003c\/em\u003e) and lady fern (\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cem\u003eAthyrium filix-femina\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cspan\u003e)—and mosses.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003ePhoto Credit 1 (young form): \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.inaturalist.org\/observations\/148570453\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\"\u003e© Caleb Catto\u003c\/a\u003e, \u003ca href=\"http:\/\/creativecommons.org\/licenses\/by\/4.0\/\"\u003esome rights reserved (CC-BY)\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003ePhoto Credit 2 (new growth): \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.inaturalist.org\/observations\/46793200\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\"\u003e© John A Haskins\u003c\/a\u003e, \u003ca href=\"http:\/\/creativecommons.org\/licenses\/by\/4.0\/\"\u003esome rights reserved (CC-BY)\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003ePhoto Credit 3 (needles close up): \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.inaturalist.org\/observations\/213917203\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\"\u003e© wweellll\u003c\/a\u003e, \u003ca href=\"http:\/\/creativecommons.org\/licenses\/by\/4.0\/\"\u003esome rights reserved (CC-BY)\u003c\/a\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003ePhoto Credit 4 (cones): \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.inaturalist.org\/observations\/68170413\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\"\u003e© John A Haskins\u003c\/a\u003e, \u003ca href=\"http:\/\/creativecommons.org\/licenses\/by\/4.0\/\"\u003esome rights reserved (CC-BY)\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003ePhoto Credit 5 (trunk): \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.inaturalist.org\/observations\/177754569\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\"\u003e© Ernesto Chavez-Velasco\u003c\/a\u003e, \u003ca href=\"http:\/\/creativecommons.org\/licenses\/by\/4.0\/\"\u003esome rights reserved (CC-BY)\u003c\/a\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003ePhoto Credit 6 (mature form): \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.inaturalist.org\/observations\/215966221\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\"\u003e© Alan Rockefeller\u003c\/a\u003e, \u003ca href=\"http:\/\/creativecommons.org\/licenses\/by\/4.0\/\"\u003esome rights reserved (CC-BY)\u003c\/a\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Sparrowhawk Native Plants","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46844019671257,"sku":null,"price":0.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0234\/6031\/5216\/files\/Abies.grandis-youngform_iNat-square.jpg?v=1737564380"},{"product_id":"vine-maple","title":"Vine Maple","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003eAcer circinatum\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003eMulti-trunked vine maple is both an iconic staple of majestic Pacific Northwest forests and an enchanting element of habitat gardens.

It flaunts lovely verdant leaves, usually nine pointed like the number of letters in its name - a great ID trick for kids of all ages.

In these shadier spots, it forms an open, loose shape as it spreads its branches in search of the sunlight. However, it also does great in sunnier locations, as long as adequate moisture is naturally present, where it grows into a thicker multi-stemmed tree. It also functions well as a foundation planting.

Elderflowers can be used in syrups, cordials and liqueurs. The fully-ripe fruit is edible, highly nutritious and is traditionally eaten fresh, dried, steamed or boiled and used in wine, jellies, candy, pies and sauces. Please take note that unripe fruit can cause an upset stomach and all green parts of the plant are poisonous and create cyanide-producing glycosides. Many people choose to cook and strain the berries before consumption. Always verify recipes from multiple sources when preparing wild foods. Most plant parts are considered highly medicinal; bark and leaves can be to induce vomiting and as a laxative and applied externally for pain, bruises, swelling, and as an antiseptic; flowers and berries can be made into a tea or syrup to treat cold and flu symptoms. This species has many other ethnobotanical values as well; the berries can be used to make black or purple dye, the stems make an orange or yellow dye and are excellent as twisting sticks to start a fire and as a bellow to blow air into it; hollow stems have been used in instruments for thousands of years and can also be made into pipes, blowguns, squirt guns and whistles, which indigenous people use to call elk; the pith was traditionally used by watchmakers for intricately cleaning tools.

Therefore, they usually just pot up a small crop in late winter that will sell-out by fall, so they don't have to risk holding it over. These plants that are potted in late winter usually will not be well-rooted until May. If you pick-up this plant at a spring event, it needs to be planted with care or held in the pot until fall. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCompanion Plants: \u003c\/strong\u003eTry it in open areas with other shrubs such as serviceberry (\u003cem\u003eAmelanchier alnifolia\u003c\/em\u003e), baldhip rose (\u003cem\u003eRosa gymnocarpa\u003c\/em\u003e), and red flowering currant (\u003cem\u003eRibes sanguineum\u003c\/em\u003e); larger herbaceous plants such as lady fern (\u003cem\u003eAthyrium filix–femina\u003c\/em\u003e) \u003cspan style=\"font-size: 0.875rem;\"\u003eand goatsbeard (\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cem style=\"font-size: 0.875rem;\"\u003eAruncus dioicus var. acuminatus\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 0.875rem;\"\u003e); with \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 0.875rem;\"\u003esweet groundcovers such as candyflower (\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cem style=\"font-size: 0.875rem;\"\u003eClaytonia sibirica\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 0.875rem;\"\u003e), Western buttercup (\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cem style=\"font-size: 0.875rem;\"\u003eRanunculus occidentalis\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 0.875rem;\"\u003e), fringecup (\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cem style=\"font-size: 0.875rem;\"\u003eTellima grandiflora\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 0.875rem;\"\u003e) and dagger-leaf rush (\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cem style=\"font-size: 0.875rem;\"\u003eJuncus ensifolius\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 0.875rem;\"\u003e). \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003ePhoto Credit 1 (berries): \u003c\/span\u003eRiver Wild Photography:\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/profile.php?id=100090908430094\u0026amp;mibextid=ZbWKwL\" data-saferedirecturl=\"https:\/\/www.google.com\/url?q=https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/profile.php?id%3D100090908430094%26mibextid%3DZbWKwL\u0026amp;source=gmail\u0026amp;ust=1725549881618000\u0026amp;usg=AOvVaw0CuiK_9sdoHI0yXsglBN-s\" target=\"_blank\"\u003eFacebook\u003c\/a\u003e, \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/riverwildphotosnplants\/?igsh=OGQ5ZDc2ODk2ZA%3D%3D\" data-saferedirecturl=\"https:\/\/www.google.com\/url?q=https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/riverwildphotosnplants\/?igsh%3DOGQ5ZDc2ODk2ZA%253D%253D\u0026amp;source=gmail\u0026amp;ust=1725549881618000\u0026amp;usg=AOvVaw07q9lp4wVDBzZ3_5b38tWN\" target=\"_blank\"\u003eInstagram\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003ePhoto Credits 2, 3, 6 (young shrub in habitat garden, flowers, berries): Karli Del Biondo, Beetles and Bees\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003ePhoto Credit 4 (\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.inaturalist.org\/observations\/170057799\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\"\u003esuburban\u003c\/a\u003e): \u003cspan\u003e© Mason Heberling\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e, \u003c\/span\u003e\u003ca href=\"http:\/\/creativecommons.org\/licenses\/by\/4.0\/\"\u003esome rights reserved\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e(CC-BY)\u003c\/a\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003ePhoto Credit 5 \u0026amp; 8 (\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.inaturalist.org\/observations\/131405887\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\"\u003eleaves\/berries, along alley\u003c\/a\u003e): \u003cspan\u003e© Dominic Gentilcore\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e, \u003c\/span\u003e\u003ca href=\"http:\/\/creativecommons.org\/licenses\/by\/4.0\/\"\u003esome rights reserved\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e(CC-BY)\u003c\/a\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003ePhoto Credit 7 (\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.inaturalist.org\/observations\/58103507\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\"\u003ein the wild\u003c\/a\u003e): \u003cspan\u003e© David Anderson\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e, \u003c\/span\u003e\u003ca href=\"http:\/\/creativecommons.org\/licenses\/by\/4.0\/\"\u003esome rights reserved\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e(CC-BY)\u003c\/a\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Sparrowhawk Native Plants","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46856909881561,"sku":null,"price":8.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0234\/6031\/5216\/products\/Sanbucus.caerulea-fruit2_CC.jpg?v=1638287004"},{"product_id":"red-elderberry","title":"Red Elderberry","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003eSambucus racemosa \u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003ev\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003ear. arborescens\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003eRed elderberry is a large, deciduous shrub that can easily be pruned to take the form of a small tree.

Though it prefers moist areas, once established, it tolerates seasonal dryness quite nicely.

They transplant well, either around your garden or gifted to friends. Fringecup leaves can be susceptible to powdery mildew. Simply pinch off infected leaves and put them in your curbside compost, ensure ample air circulation around the plant, and take steps to improve overall plant health such as providing deep\/infrequent water in the driest locations. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003ePhoto Credit 1 (flowers, closeup): \"\u003c\/span\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/50169152@N06\/17146310658\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eTellima Grandiflora Fringecup, San Juan Islands\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\" by \u003c\/span\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/50169152@N06\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eBLM Oregon \u0026amp; Washington\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cspan\u003e is licensed under \u003c\/span\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/creativecommons.org\/licenses\/by\/2.0\/?ref=openverse\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eCC BY 2.0\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cspan\u003e.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003ePhoto Credit 2 (flower stalks): \"\u003c\/span\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/46821817@N08\/5622263072\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eTellima grandiflora “Fringe Cups”\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\" by \u003c\/span\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/46821817@N08\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eFarOutFlora\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cspan\u003e is licensed under \u003c\/span\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/creativecommons.org\/licenses\/by\/2.0\/?ref=openverse\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eCC BY 2.0\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cspan\u003e.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003ePhoto Credit 3 (flower stalk): Nikkie West, Sparrowhawk Native Plants\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003ePhoto Credit 4 (flowering habit, in the garden): Tracy Cozine, Sparrowhawk Native Plants\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003ePhoto Credit 5 (garden edge): \"\u003c\/span\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/33037982@N04\/13997652135\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eTellima grandiflora\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\" by \u003c\/span\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/33037982@N04\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003ewallygrom\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cspan\u003e is licensed under \u003c\/span\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/creativecommons.org\/licenses\/by-sa\/2.0\/?ref=openverse\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eCC BY-SA 2.0\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cspan\u003e.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePhoto Credit 6 \u0026amp; 7 (in the wild): © John Brew, \u003ca href=\"http:\/\/creativecommons.org\/licenses\/by\/4.0\/\"\u003esome rights reserved (CC-BY)\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cb id=\"docs-internal-guid-f8af1dad-7fff-013a-8d2c-f66d5bff73ff\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Sparrowhawk Native Plants","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47753777414361,"sku":null,"price":7.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0234\/6031\/5216\/products\/27.png?v=1720506903"},{"product_id":"western-meadowrue","title":"Western Meadowrue","description":"\u003cdiv id=\"formula-bar\" class=\"\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv id=\"t-formula-bar-input-container\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv spellcheck=\"false\" id=\"t-formula-bar-input\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"cell-input\" role=\"combobox\" dir=\"ltr\" aria-autocomplete=\"list\" tabindex=\"0\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003eThalictrum occidentale\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003eWestern meadowrue is a delicate woodland perennial with intricately, lacy foliage and stunningly unique flowers.

It prefers partial shade areas with moist soils that are high in organic matter. Although it’s known to spread (some lists even say “vigorously”), it is incredibly attractive and not a nuisance. In Sparrowhawk’s garden, there is a lovely patch growing in the dappled light under a mature elderberry shrub. After eight years, the patch is only about 6’ long by 3’ wide. This plant also holds up exceptionally well throughout the growing season and can still be attractive into late summer, when much of the habitat garden is dying back. It looks the best, the longest, particularly if it is planted in a moist area or provided infrequent, but deep, waterings during the summer drought (i.e. once every couple of weeks). \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003ePhoto Credits: Nikkie West, Sparrowhawk Native Plants\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Sparrowhawk Native Plants","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43719292518617,"sku":"","price":0.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0234\/6031\/5216\/products\/Thalictrum.occidentale-flower-male_NW-smaller.jpg?v=1639489251"},{"product_id":"piggy-back-plant","title":"Piggyback Plant","description":"\u003cdiv class=\"\" id=\"formula-bar\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv id=\"t-formula-bar-input-container\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv id=\"t-formula-bar-input\" spellcheck=\"false\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv aria-autocomplete=\"list\" dir=\"ltr\" role=\"combobox\" class=\"cell-input\" tabindex=\"0\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003eTolmiea menziesii\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003ePiggyback plant, also known as youth-on-age, is a lush herbaceous plant that lures pollinators into the woodland garden.

Bulbs can be fragile when they're actively growing in spring. So, either plant with care or keep it in its pot and wait until it dies back before planting. By early summer, the plant will die back completely and the bulb will be easy to transplant. If you go this route, leave the pot in a sheltered place and water sparingly, so that you don't rot the bulb. For fall orders, you can expect what looks like a pot of dirt. The bulb inside may appear slightly shriveled, which is its normal, dormant fall look.

In doing so, they are critical players in a magical dance of seed dispersal that mutually benefits both the plants and the ants.

So plant it away from busy streets and trucking routes where diesel particulate is highest - and, of course, let’s keep fighting for better air quality for plants, animals and people. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePhoto Credits 1, 3, 5: Nikkie West, Sparrowhawk Native Plants\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePhoto Credit 2: Eileen Stark\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003ePhoto Credit 4: Tara Lemezis, Tiny Seed Photography\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Sparrowhawk Native Plants","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47753771319513,"sku":null,"price":16.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0234\/6031\/5216\/files\/Rhamnus.purshiana-leaves_NW-smaller-square.jpg?v=1685637638"},{"product_id":"tall-oregon-grape","title":"Tall Oregon Grape","description":"\u003cdiv class=\"\"\u003e\n\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eMahonia aquifolium \/ Berberis aquifolium\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eTall Oregon grape is as beautiful as it is versatile; offering dynamic year round appeal for the gardener while being extremely beneficial to wildlife.

By fall, the flowers become small, hairy fruits that also feed backyard birds. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli dir=\"ltr\" role=\"presentation\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePlant type\/canopy layer: \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003edeciduous, perennial, large shrub \u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli dir=\"ltr\" role=\"presentation\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSize at maturity: \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e10-20' tall, 8-12' wide\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli dir=\"ltr\" role=\"presentation\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLight requirements:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e full sun to mostly shady (intolerant of deep shade)\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli dir=\"ltr\" role=\"presentation\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMoisture requirements: \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003emoist to dry soil\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli dir=\"ltr\" role=\"presentation\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBloom time: \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003eMay - August (June - August in the Portland Metro area)\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli dir=\"ltr\" role=\"presentation\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eGrowth rate\/ease: \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003efast growing, very easy to grow\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli dir=\"ltr\" role=\"presentation\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWildlife support: \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003eflowers attract and provide nectar source for hummingbirds, adult butterflies, bees and other insect pollinators; seeds are consumed by birds; overall plant attracts and supports beneficial and other pest-eating insects, is a caterpillar host plant and larval food source to native butterflies and moths including \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003epale swallowtail, spring azure, Lorquin’s admiral, and brown elfin butterflies that all lay their eggs on it; it also \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eprovides good cover for birds, small mammals and amphibians, such as the Pacific Treefrog \u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli dir=\"ltr\" role=\"presentation\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNative habitat\/range: \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003ecommon in a variety of habitats from moist to dry open forests that are often dominated by Douglas Fir, to coastal bluffs and disturbed areas such as logged or burned areas and roadsides across \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003ewestern North America, but most commonly found in the mountains of the Pacific Northwest.\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli dir=\"ltr\" role=\"presentation\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSpecial features \u0026amp; uses:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e \u003c\/strong\u003edrought-tolerant; deer resistant; pollinator, insect and wildlife favorite; medicinal; indigenous people have referred to this shrub as “iron wood” due to the strength of its branch, which becomes stronger when put through fire and polished with horsetail.
