2120 Creeping Mahonia (Mahonia repens)

An excellent ground cover for zones 5-9. Creeping mahonia (sometimes also called creeping hollygrape) is a low-growing, stoloniferous, evergreen shrub or shrublet which typically grows to 1' tall and spreads by underground stems to form an attractive ground cover. Features holly-like, odd-pinnate, compound leaves with oval, spiny-toothed, leathery, bluish-green leaflets (usually 3-7). Foliage turns purplish in winter. Deep yellow flowers appear in small racemes (1-3") in spring and are followed by small clusters of grape-like, dark bluish-purple berries (1/4" diameter) which mature in late summer. Berries are very sour but edible and can be used in jellies. Yellow stem wood was used by Native Americans to produce yellow dyes and a bitter tonic. Although a very small plant, Oregon Grape is conspicuous for many reasons: it often grows alone on warm, barren, rocky hillsides (although it is also at home in moist forests); its holly-like, thick (but brittle) leaves are eye-catching; it is usually evergreen (although the leaves commonly turn red in the fall, they do remain on the plant), making it a wonderful ornamental plant as well. 1 Teaspoon pack of seeds per pack ( 200+ seeds ). Price per pack: $5.95
