Salal

A staple of Pacific Northwest landscapes, Salal is an evergreen powerhouse that thrives where others struggle. With lush, leathery green leaves and delicate pinkish-white bell flowers in spring, it’s both ornamental and rugged, making it an essential for woodland gardens, natural borders, and erosion control. As summer fades, deep purple-blue berries emerge, feeding birds and adding seasonal interest. Low-maintenance, drought-tolerant, and tough as nails, this native plant is perfect for shaded understories, mass plantings, and wild, untamed spaces.
