Product description
Mahonia Volcano is a compact, rounded garden shrub with evergreen pinnate leaves and tall racemes of flowers from August through November. The shrub gets its Volcano name from the fiery hues of the buds and flowers. Orange buds appear from late summer and open out into small but showy vivid orange-yellow blooms.
Also known as Oregon Grape, this garden shrub is undemanding and easy to grow. It prefers a spot in partial shade or full shade but tolerates full if the soil is kept consistently moist. Mahonia Volcano is fully hardy and thrives in moist, well-draining soil.
Ideal for adding structure to beds and borders, Mahonia Volcano also grows well in pots and containers. It makes an excellent standalone shrub for brightening patios and paved areas, and looks incredible planted in a group, producing the effect of flowing lava when the plant is in full bloom.
Please Note: When purchasing plants, please consider that each live item is unique and may therefore differ from the images shown, which are for illustration purposes only. The plant will be supplied in a growers pot. Depending on season, some plants may be pruned back to encourage growth and deciduous plants may arrive without leaves.

Garden Plant Size Guide
Plants in larger pots can be multiple years older than their smaller counterparts with more mature root systems and foliage. This makes them able to thrive as a full size plant in your garden quicker than smaller alternatives.
The most common size of pot that garden plants come in are 9cm/1L/3L/5L this is in reference to the diameter at the top of the pot.
9cm potted plants still remain the most popular cost effective option though, they just may take a little patience to allow them to grow into full maturity once planted in your garden.

Mahonia thrives in shaded areas and provides year-round interest with its evergreen foliage and winter blooms.
How to Water
Mahonia plants prefer consistent moisture but do not like soggy soil. Water regularly, especially during dry spells, and mulch around the base to retain moisture.
How to Plant
Plant Mahonia in a well-draining, slightly acidic soil in a partially shaded or shaded location. Dig a hole twice the size of the root ball, place the plant in, and cover with soil. Water thoroughly after planting to ensure good root establishment.
