Cascade Oregon Grape has a place in any Pacific Northwest woodland garden. Growing only two feet tall, it’s pale-yellow flower clusters erupt from the center of the plant each spring, above whorling stems of spiky compound leaves. Deep blue berries ripen in late summer to fall providing food for birds and other wildlife. These berries are edible, but be warned they taste nothing like grapes and are quite tart!
