notes
Also known as Beal’s Mahonia, this evergreen shrub really shines in autumn when its fragrant yellow flowers appear on upright racemes. These vibrant blooms add warmth and colour to the garden while providing a valuable late-season nectar source for pollinators. They are followed by clusters of blue berries, eagerly eaten by wildlife. The plant’s glossy blue-green, holly-like foliage lends it an almost tropical character, making it an eye-catching addition year-round.
