Salal (3.5")

Salal has oval-shaped, leathery, evergreen leaves that are about 2-4 inches long and about 1-3 inches wide. Pendant, urn-shaped flowers are white to pink. Its edible, dark-purple berries are actually fleshy sepals. Salal is very versatile in the landscape and should be included in almost any natural revegetation project. It is very useful along roadsides and highways. Although often slow to establish, in time it will aggressively fill in and develop into large patches of verdant foliage.

Bloom period is April-May. Fruit ripens July to September.
