Oregon grape is a broadleaf evergreen shrub that grows well in shadier spots. It originated in western North America and is the state flower of Oregon. It will provide colour throughout all four seasons with its green and burgundy foliage, yellow flowers, and purplish-blue fruit.

In April and May, clusters of cheery yellow flowers appear. The fruit is a berry that does resemble a grape in shape and color. They are edible but are quite tart and can be used to make jams, jellies, and preserves. The plant attracts butterflies, bees, hummingbirds, and other birds and would be a welcome addition to a wildlife garden. ~ https://www.thespruce.com/oregon-grape-profile-3269178
