Overview
Charity Mahonia (Mahonia x media 'Charity') is a hardy evergreen with upright stems that can grow between two and three metres tall. Its attractive bright green foliage is made up of narrow and sharply toothed leaves. In winter, it produces yellow and fragrant flowers followed by grey-blue berries which the local wildlife love to eat. It's an ideal plant for providing structure and colour in low-maintenance native gardens. This variety is very resistant to pests and disease and it requires only minimal pruning. Charity Mahonia thrives in both sun and shade and prefers well-drained, slightly acidic soil.
