Cascade Sunrise™ Salal

Gaultheria shallon ‘Gaulsidh12′ 

Cast iron and now extra beautiful! Cascade Sunrise™ salal is a striking variant of the Gaultheria shallon species. The vibrant orange-red new foliage adds a touch of drama to any landscape, with a narrower and more tapered leaf shape compared to the species. Delicate pink urn-shaped flowers bloom in early summer, followed by edible blue berries that are enjoyably sweet and dry easily - enjoy these in a homemade trail mix, too! This shrub has an equal spread, making it a versatile evergreen addition to any garden. USPP#34,625, CPBRAF
