How to Grow and Care for Mahonia


Most of the shrubs in the mahonia genus are densely textured with eye-catching, large foliage. They are shrubs well-suited to shady spots in your yard and are popular as privacy hedges. Because of their architectural, dramatic appearance, they're often used in minimalist landscape designs, especially in southern states.


North American native woodland plants, mahonias, are easy-to-grow and have an almost tropical look. The fragrant golden-yellow late winter or early-spring blooms are attractive to pollinators like bees and butterflies. The dark bluish-black berries appeal to a range of birds, who might also take refuge in the thick, green foliage. Part of the appeal of these upright evergreen shrubs is that they offer year-round interest and the spiky foliage is deer-resistant. Plant mahonias in spring or fall when the temperatures are mild.
