Description
A hardy, evergreen shrub perfect for Australian cool temperate gardens, Mahonia piperiana features bold, leathery, holly-like blue-green leaves with a silvery hue. In late winter to early spring, it produces cheerful clusters of fragrant, bright yellow flowers that attract bees, followed by powdery blue berries. This tough, drought-tolerant plant prefers part shade and well-drained soil, and makes a striking structural addition to woodland or shaded borders.
