About Salmonberry
Salmonberry is a Pacific Northwest treasure that brings both beauty and bounty to your garden. This native shrub rewards you with lovely flowers in spring and delicious berries that ripen to a glowing salmon or golden color. Birds and other wildlife absolutely love the berries, and pollinators visit the flowers. It's a wonderful way to support local ecosystems while enjoying the landscape.
Growing salmonberry is straightforward. It belongs to the rose family and loves moist soil and partial shade, much like other native berries. Give it some space since it can spread as a vigorous plant. Gardeners in the right climate find it quite rewarding, with minimal fussing once established. You'll enjoy fresh berries and the joy of watching wildlife thrive in your yard.
