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

  • Bloom time: March - July (April - July in the Portland Metro area)
  • Growth rate/ease: slow growing, easy to grow

  • 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).

Look and feel nice. My feet are size 8.5 men’s USA and they are reasonably snug. The will seems a little better than cotton.

My new favorite socks!
Color: White, Size: Medium
As someone that struggles with cold hands and feet, I started experimenting with using merino wool socks over my usual cotton and polyester blend socks. I am very pleased to report that these merino wool socks are very comfortable and warm. They have a secure and comfortable fit--ideal for casual everyday use. These socks perform well as athletic socks for winter soccer, and will slowly take over my sock drawer! These socks have a good thickness to them and feel durable for normal wear. The elastic portion of the sock stretches to accommodate wider ankles (like mine) and does not feel like it will lose elasticity quickly. Very fair value for the cost in my book.

Great product
Color: Black, Size: Medium
Super soft and fits like a sock should. I wash in a lingerie bag on gentle cycle and hang dry due to fabric type. My feet don't get sweaty which is why I have chosen merino wool products as all of my base layers (socks, underwear, etc)

Lightweight and Comfortable, but very thin
Color: Black, Size: Large
I used the Lapulas Merino Wool Quarter Socks for Men on a Europe trip where I was walking pretty much all day, and overall they performed well. The biggest thing to know right away is that they are very thin. If you’re expecting thick, cushioned socks, these are not that. They feel more like a lightweight layer rather than something padded. That said, the thinness actually worked in my favor for travel. Even after long days of walking, my feet didn’t feel overly sweaty or damp. They seem to handle moisture pretty well, and I didn’t get that uncomfortable “wet sock” feeling, which is a big plus when you’re constantly on the move. They’re also surprisingly decent at regulating temperature. They’re not thick, but they still help keep your feet warm when it’s a bit cold, while staying breathable enough during the day. It’s more of a balanced, all-day comfort rather than heavy insulation. One thing I noticed is that they stretch out a bit after the first use. They’re snug at first, but after wearing them for a day, they loosen slightly. It’s not terrible, but it’s noticeable, especially since they’re already thin. Also, proper care really matters with these. Since they’re merino wool and lightweight, I’d recommend being careful with washing and drying—gentle wash and air drying is probably the best way to maintain the shape and quality. Throwing them in a regular hot wash/dry cycle will likely wear them out faster or affect the fit. Because they’re thin, they fit nicely inside shoes without feeling tight or bulky, which I appreciated when wearing sneakers for long periods. Pros: -Lightweight and comfortable for all-day walking -Good moisture control, feet don’t feel damp -Breathable and not too hot -Helps keep feet warm despite being thin -Easy to pack for travel Cons: -Very thin, not much cushioning -Slightly loosens after first use -Requires careful washing and drying

Too stretchy for my preference
Color: Black, Size: Large
The socks seem to be high quality, but they are too stretchy for my liking. They feel like "compression" socks, and become too thin and stretched when worn (yes I bought the correct size). Even though they have less Spandex than my preferred wool socks (e which are no longer available), they are much stretchier.
