A low-growing, evergreen native that brings year-round interest to the garden. Mahonia repens forms a spreading mat of holly-like, deep green leaves that turn rich red to purple in fall and winter. In early spring, cheerful clusters of bright yellow flowers emerge, followed by small blue berries that attract birds and other wildlife.
Perfect for woodland gardens, dry shade areas, or erosion control on slopes. Drought-tolerant once established and deer-resistant, this tough native is ideal for naturalistic and low-maintenance landscapes.
