Mahonia repens: Creeping Oregon Grape

Mahonia repens is a low-growing evergreen shrub featuring leathery holly-like leaves that emerge bronze-red, mature to glossy green in summer, and turn purplish-red in winter. Clusters of fragrant yellow flowers appear in spring, followed by blue-black berries loved by wildlife. Its spreading habit makes it excellent for erosion control, shaded slopes, or woodland edges.
