Mahonia x media ‘Winter Sun’, winner of an RHS AGM, is a big, evergreen shrub variety that produces wonderful, yellow fragrant blooms in winter months. November to March is the time for colour, brightening up winter gardens. Purple berries follow bringing further interest and food for birds in cold months. Hardy, tolerating winter weather, the foliage that lasts all year round produces leaves up to 45cm in size, in a glossy green tone. Architectural shrub for shady spots of the garden. Height and spread: 4m (13′).
Growing Information
Grow Mahonia plants in borders or containers in any rich fertile, well drained soil in full sun or semi shade. Although Mahonia plants are hardy they will appreciate a sheltered position away from cold, drying winds. Prior to planting, incorporate plenty of well rotted manure or garden compost into the soil.
