Cascade Sunburst Huckleberry
Vaccinium ovatum ‘Vacbri2’
Introduced by Briggs Nursery
Discovered by Briggs Nursery in Elma, Washington
Distinctive, variegated foliage sets this versatile evergreen apart from other Huckleberries. Finely serrated leaves are vivid coral when they emerge, gradually turning green with creamy variegations. Racemes of pale pink, urn-shaped flowers bloom in spring, followed by glossy purple -black, edible berries in the summer – providing multiples seasons of interest. Performs well in both shade and sun, tolerates most soil types but prefers acidic soil that is moist and well drained. Attracts hummingbirds and butterflies – deer resistant also!
