Creeping Oregon-Grape or Creeping Barberry is a low-growing native evergreen shrub of most of the western United States, extending northward into the Canadian provinces. As the name implies, this species makes an excellent ground cover. As with the related Oregon-grape species, this is not a grape at all, but bears a rounded, whitish-blue, sour "berry".

The holly-like oblong leaflets are sharply toothed, dull green-to-bluish in color, and two-to-three inches in length.

Bright yellow flowers are borne in clusters, adding to the attractiveness of this low plant. In autumn the leaves turn a bronze color.

Grown as an individual specimen or as a ground-covering species, Creeping Oregon-grape is very drought and frost-resistant, requiring little care.

These plants are grown from purchased seedlings.
