Mahonia aquifolium (Oregon Grape)

Oregon Grape brings a lot more personality than most broadleaf evergreens. The glossy, holly-like foliage can bronze or redden in winter, the yellow spring flowers are lightly fragrant, and the blue-black berries that follow are attractive to birds and can be used for jelly. It also happens to be the state flower of Oregon, which makes it one of the more interesting plants on this list.
