Red Huckleberry is a native of the west coast, with a range that extends from California to Alaska. It is a deciduous shrub, often found in the lowland forest understory. The bright green, angled stems add to the unique character of this huckleberry, making it attractive even in winter. With a relatively slow growth rate restricting its size, at maturity shrubs may reach over ten feet in height.

The flowers are small, pinkish, and bell-shaped; they are quite noticeable against the green stems. As they age, the stems become brown in color and woody. The red fruit is edible and makes a good jelly.

Red Huckleberry is tolerant of sunny or partially shady conditions and prefers acidic soils, requiring little care.

These plants are grown from cuttings and are in their first season.
