About This Plant

Vaccinium moupinense (Himalaya), 'Himalaya', is valued for its garden character and seasonal interest in PNW landscapes.

Vaccinium moupinense is an ornamental shrub valued for its seasonal interest and the role it plays in the garden landscape.

Full sun to part shade suits this species. Plant in moist, well-drained soil. Hardy USDA Zone 5 to 9. Provide consistent moisture during establishment. Watch for general pest pressures common to the region.
