Huckleberry is fondly remembered by some as sweet, juicy nearly black berries that were picked straight from the bush to enjoy at home in pancakes, jams and pies. But it is also a beautifully ornamental woodland ground cover. Plant these among other shade plants for the vivid foliage color as well as bird-attracting fruit. A native to the Pacific Northwest as well as eastern coastal states, the huckleberry's small, leathery leaves are tinged with copper and bronze hues before maturing to shiny dark green. Small, white flowers open to succulent, blue-black berries in late summer.
