About Mahonia media Winter Sun 4.5 Litre Pot

Mahonia × media ‘Winter Sun’ – Winter-Flowering Evergreen

Description
Mahonia × media ‘Winter Sun’ is a robust evergreen shrub admired for its spiny, glossy foliage and vivid, fragrant yellow flowers that appear from late winter to early spring. The blooms provide much-needed colour when most plants are dormant and attract early pollinators.

In summer, the dark green leaves remain visually striking, and small blue-black berries follow the flowers, adding seasonal interest and food for wildlife. Its upright, bushy habit makes it a versatile choice for borders, woodland gardens, and hedging.

Size & Growth
Typically reaches 2–2.5 m tall and wide over time, forming an upright, bushy shrub.

Growing Conditions
Thrives in full sun to partial shade, in fertile, moist but well-drained soil. Hardy and low-maintenance, it tolerates a range of garden soils and positions.

Why Choose Mahonia × media ‘Winter Sun’?

  • Winter Interest – Bright yellow, fragrant flowers from late winter.

  • Evergreen Foliage – Glossy, spiny leaves provide year-round structure.

  • Wildlife-Friendly – Flowers attract pollinators; berries feed birds.

  • Low Maintenance – Hardy, adaptable, and reliable in most gardens.

Planting & Care Guide
