Black Huckleberry is a thicket forming native deciduous shrub with a low-spreading habit and light green foliage that turns orange or red in fall. Clusters of red to pink bell-shaped flowers bloom in late spring and give way to small edible black-blue berries in summer. Best fruit production in part sun and moist well-drained acidic soils.
