The beguiling scent of this bush fills the air when most other plants have died down for the winter.

Mahonia is grown for its attractive foliage and fragrant, showy, bright yellow November to March flowers. These are followed by edible blue-black fruits.

It prefers partial shade and well-drained soil.
