A bold and beautiful Pacific Northwest native, Mahonia aquifolium is a hardy evergreen shrub with glossy, holly-like leaves that emerge bronze-red, mature to deep green, and turn purplish-red in fall and winter. In early spring, it bursts into clusters of fragrant yellow flowers, followed by deep blue berries that birds love.
Tough and adaptable, it's perfect for woodland borders, native plant gardens, or as an informal hedge. Drought-tolerant once established and deer-resistant, it brings year-round color and habitat to your landscape.
