About 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.

Key Features

  • Fragrant bright yellow winter flowers
  • Bold architectural evergreen foliage
  • Thrives in shade where other plants struggle
  • Blue-black berries for wildlife
  • Fully hardy and low maintenance

Perfect For

Ideal for shaded borders, woodland gardens, and north-facing positions. Excellent as a specimen plant or in groups for winter interest. Works well in urban gardens and courtyards. Perfect for providing structure and winter colour. Suitable for wildlife gardens and naturalistic plantings.

Growing Tips

Plant in partial to full shade in well-drained soil enriched with organic matter. Tolerates dry shade once established. Water regularly during establishment. Little pruning required, but can remove lower leaves to create a more tree-like form. Mulch annually in spring. Shelter from cold winds for best flowering.

Looks Great With

Combines beautifully with other shade-loving evergreens such as Sarcococca and Skimmia. Works well with hellebores, snowdrops, and early spring bulbs. Complements ferns, hostas, and other foliage plants. Provides excellent backdrop for lighter coloured plants and spring-flowering shrubs.

An outstanding evergreen shrub that delivers architectural presence, winter fragrance, and valuable wildlife benefits, making it essential for shaded gardens seeking year-round interest.
