Vaccinium ovatum

Evergreen huckleberry is a medium-sized evergreen shrub that is ornamental, versatile and low-maintenance in NW native gardens. During the growing season, its new growth emerges in attractive hues of reds and bronze then shifts to glossy deep green as it ages. These year-round leaves are complimented by clusters of urn-shaped white and pink flowers that appear to be decadently dripping from the branch tips and attract hummingbirds and insect pollinators. Flowers mature into edible fruits that sweeten with the first light freeze and are delicious in pies, jams or straight into your mouth.   

  • Plant type/canopy layer: evergreen, perennial, med/large shrub
  • Size at maturity: 4-8' tall, 3-6' wide
  • Light requirements: full sun to full shade
  • Moisture requirements: moist soil, prefers well-drained
  • Bloom time: March - July (April - July in the Portland Metro area)
  • Growth rate/ease: slow growing, easy to grow
  • Wildlife support: flowers attract and provide nectar to hummingbirds, adult butterflies, bees and other insect pollinators; overall plant is a caterpillar host plant and larval food source; berries are eaten by many songbirds and mammals including chipmunks and black bears; foliage is a browsing food source for deer, elk, rabbits, and grouse and provides shelter for birds and small mammals
  • Native habitat/range: commonly grows along the edges of beaches and along the edges and in openings of second growth conifer forests, at low elevations from the west side of the Cascade Mountains to the coast, from British Columbia in the north to California in the south. Portland Plant List - yes. 
  • Special features & uses: wildlife and hummingbird favorite; edible - berries are a valuable traditional food for many indigenous people in the Pacific Northwest fresh or dried into cakes; foliage is used in the floral industry; medicinal; landscape uses include pollinator gardens, woodland gardens, erosion control, hedgerows and screens

Gardening with Evergreen Huckleberry: This shrub is popular in naturescapes because it's versatile, attractive, highly-functional and a wildlife favorite. It can thrive in nearly all light conditions, but in the Willamette Valley, it tends to prefer more shade, while on the coast it handles full sun with ease. Its form will vary depending on the light conditions provided; growing more dense in full shade and looser with more sun. Soils should be moist, well-drained and acidic soils. That said, it does tolerate summer drought impressively well, once established. It is slow-growing, but the payoff is worth the wait, especially in wildlife-friendly hedgerows and privacy screens. 

Companion Plants: Evergreen huckleberry thrives in a wide range of habitats. In shadier areas, try it with California hazelnut (Corlyus cornuta ssp. californica), salal (Gaultheria shallon), snowberry (Symphoricarpos albus) and herbaceous cuties like small-flowered alumroot (Heuchera micrantha), Pacific waterleaf (Hydrophyllum tenuipes), vanillaleaf (Achlys triphylla), fairybells (Prosartes sp), candyflower (Claytonia sibirica) and/or piggyback plant (Tolmiea menziesii). In more open areas, consider Ponderosa pine (Pinus ponderosa), Douglas Fir (Pseudotsuga menziesii) and/or cascara (Frangula purshiana) in the overstory, shrubs such as red flowering currant (Ribes sanguineum), oceanspray (Holodiscus discolor), tall Oregon grape (Mahonia aquifolium) or red-stem ceanothus (Ceanothus sanguineus) and herbaceous plants such as fringecup (Tellima grandiflora), red columbine (Aquilegia formosa), Oregon iris (Iris tenax), celery-leaved lovage (Ligusticum apiifolium) and/or wild straberry (Fragaria virginiana).

Perfect toddler summer sandal!
Size: 6 Toddler, Color: Navy, Size: 6 Toddler, Color: Navy
My toddler loves them. Even though they are a little big for him (which I meant to buy a bigger size) the adjustable strap allows me tighten them enough so he doesn’t slide. Color goes with everything! Perfect summer shoe!

I liked them, toddler did not
Size: 7 Toddler, Color: Navy
I thought these were cute shoes. They were sturdy, protective, and flexible for little walkers. And they were pretty soft on the inside to wear without socks. Unfortunately, my two year old did not agree. He cried "don't like it" and immediately ripped them off every time I tried them on him. Maybe it's just my picky son. TTS/half size big.

Great looking shoe!
Size: 11 Little Kid, Color: Tan, Size: 11 Little Kid, Color: Tan
We got these sandals specifically for our Caribbean vacation over thanksgiving break. They run true to size but I did get them one size bigger to hopefully last for next summer as well. They look great on and go with everything! My son said they feel very comfortable on his feet and he likes easy on/off due to Velcro closure.

The Perfect Sandal for Active Kids!
Size: 8 Toddler, Color: Navy
I recently purchased the Stride Rite 360 Boy's Paddy Sandal for my son, and I couldn't be happier with my decision! From the moment he slipped his feet into these sandals, I could tell we were both going to be very pleased. Comfort & Fit: 5/5 - The Paddy Sandal has surpassed all expectations in terms of comfort and fit. The adjustable straps make it incredibly easy to get a snug, perfect fit for my son's feet, ensuring the sandals stay securely on, no matter how much running and jumping he does. The soles are cushioned just right, offering support without sacrificing flexibility, which is essential for a growing child. Durability: 5/5 - Stride Rite has always been synonymous with quality, and these sandals are no exception. They've endured days at the park, sandy beaches, and endless pavement adventures, yet they show minimal wear and tear. The materials are top-notch, promising many more months of active use. Ease of Use: 5/5 - For busy parents, the ease with which these sandals can be put on and taken off is a huge relief. The hook and loop closure is strong and stays in place, but it's simple enough for my son to handle on his own, fostering his independence. Overall Experience: 5/5 - It's rare to find a shoe that ticks all the boxes for both parent and child, but the Stride Rite 360 Boy's Paddy Sandal does just that. They've been a fantastic investment in my son's summer wardrobe and overall comfort during his daily activities. I would highly recommend these sandals to any parent looking for a reliable, comfortable, and stylish option for their child. Stride Rite has outdone themselves once again!
