Mahonia aquifolium

Mahonia aquifolium at Ebay. I’ve just ordered a plant – it’s great for bees, the berries are enjoyed by the birds and can be used for jam or wine too. It grows about a metre tall and spreads to about 1.5m. I’m going to put it in my front garden. It’s tolerant of poor soil and will manage in a drought. Not sure that’s going to be an issue in the UK though!
It shouldn’t create too much leaf litter and flowers in winter so providing colour in the garden.
