Gaultheria shallon (Salal)

This sturdy evergreen shrub is found widely along the Pacific Coast and is hardy in USDA zones 8-10.

Salal grows from 3 - 6,' mostly under evergreens where it spreads quickly to form dense thickets.

Its dark green, lustrous leaves are popular among commercial florists.

White or pink flowers in late spring attract hummingbirds.

The fruits are plentiful and delicious, prized by hikers, small children, Native groups and bears.

Use Salal under evergreens & deciduous trees where most shrubs will not survive or as a low-maintenance ground cover.

Salal is extremely adaptable, thriving in sun, shade, humus, infertile, dry or moist soils. It requires little care once established.
