Leatherleaf mahonia

 

 

 

A uniquely textured shrub that has multi-season interest. Late winter yellow flowers are followed by blue fruit that looks like grapes. Holly-like leaves are deeper green on top - and olive green underneath. Plant is evergreen although it can thin in the winter. Grows 4-6 feet tall and wide. Tolerates half day of sun - leaves may yellow if it gets to much sun. Likes good drainage. A very unique plant.
