Add year-round structure and interest to your garden with award winning Mahonia med. 'Winter Sun'.This large Mahonia will grow to an eventual height and spread of 4m, so it is best placed near to the back of the border as an excellent backdrop to your other plants. This bushy evergreen shrub produces slender upright stems packed with sweetly scented blooms in winter and early spring. The flowers are bright yellow and resemble tiny Daffodils up close, their powerful perfume fills the air with a jasmine-like scent attracting early pollinators such as bumblebees who seek them out in the sunshine.The foliage of Mahonia med. 'Winter Sun' is wonderfully architectural, glossy deep-green spiked leaves sit on top of the main stem in rosette formations. Plant lower growing shrubs and flowers in front of this large Mahonia to fill out the space in front of the main trunk.This Mahonia will grow well in a shady spot in well-drained fertile soil.
