Shrubby Cinquefoil (Potentilla) vs Oregon GrapeDasiphora fruticosa syn. Potentilla fruticosa Berberis aquifolium (Mahonia aquifolium) SOLD OUT SOLD OUT
Shrubby Cinquefoil is a small, deciduous flowering shrub. This hardy species is densely covered with leaves and produces pale to bright yellow buttercup-shaped flowers terminally on the stems.
Oregon Grape is an evergreen shrub native to North America, found along the Pacific coast. In spring, the bright golden-yellow flowers appear in clusters above the leaves. These flowers eventually give way to edible blue berries in late summer. While not a true grape, the berries appear grape-like due to their colouring and clustered growth. They can be eaten fresh, but the sour taste and high amounts of natural pectin make them well suited for preserves. SHRUBBY CINQUEFOIL (POTENTILLA) QUICK FACTSOREGON GRAPE QUICK FACTS
