The perfect evergreen scented shrub
- which will grow equally well in full sun or full shade! The fern-like foliage of this brand new Mahonia cries out to be touched! Its innovative architectural form brings an unusual, exotic shape wherever you use it &, quite surprisingly, the delicate, shiny, silvery-green leaves (enhanced by wine red stems) are evergreen for year-round impact. It's the first thornless Mahonia, which means that, unlike traditional varieties, it can be planted to brighten up your paths, doorways, borders & containers! You'd be forgiven for thinking that it isn't a Mahonia at all, but then it reminds us with its characteristic sprays of bright yellow, sweetly scented flowers, which are followed by attractive silvery-blue berries
- something for the bees & the birds, as well as for you. & it's hardy to -12C! All these merits are combined in a plant which grows in sun or shade, tolerates dryness well & which remains bushy & compact for many years, creating appeal in containers & in gardens both large & small. RHS Chelsea Flower Show Plant of the Year 2013. Flowers August-October. Height 60-100cm (24-39); spread 60-80cm (24-31). Supplied in a 1 litre pot.
