Mahonia media 'Charity' -3 Litre Pot

Mahonia media 'Charity'

A magnificent architectural evergreen shrub that provides both structure and precious winter colour when the garden needs it most. The bold foliage and spectacular flowering spikes make this an invaluable plant for shaded areas where few others perform so well.

Seasonal Highlights

The large glossy pinnate leaves provide strong evergreen structure throughout the year. From late autumn through winter into early spring, upright racemes of bright yellow fragrant flowers appear, bringing both colour and sweet scent to the garden. These are followed by blue-black berries that attract birds in spring.
