Product description
This Mahonia hybrid is an excellent addition to accent your winter garden. It grows well vertically and has a frond-like leaf system which distinguish it among other winter plants. The Mahonia are a type of evergreen shrub.
In addition, in the late autumn to winter, racemes of yellow flowers appear. These elongated stalks of flowers along a central spine develop into small grape-like clusters of dark-coloured berries. Furthermore, the pinnate leaves are an exotic, spine-toothed design. It is a hardy plant that is generally pest and disease free.
The Mahonia “Winter Sun” is a stunner in the winter time. When the drab and dreary colours have set in, the Mahonia responds with bright, yellow flowers and exotic purple berries. The spring through autumn colours are much more subdued, yet remain a deep, lush green.
This plant is ideal for cottages and more rustic garden settings. You will most appreciate it as being part of a collective of more woodland plants or along a border. Compared to some related plants, the “Winter Sun” is more compact and aromatic. It is a worthy addition to your cottage or countryside-gardening style.

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.

Top Tip
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.
