Mountain-grape
Berberis aquifolium
Oregon grape (Berberis aquifolium) is a tough, evergreen shrub that tolerates a wide range of conditions including shade, drought once established, and poor soils. Plant in well-drained soil and water regularly during the first growing season to establish deep roots, then reduce frequency. Its holly-like foliage, cheerful yellow spring flowers, and edible blue-purple berries make it a stunning, multi-season garden plant.
