Mahonia repens - Creeping Mahonia

Market price from $3.90 to $11.75

Mahonia repens is an elegant, evergreen shrub, affectionately known as Creeping Mahonia, that promises to add year-round interest to your outdoor space. Native to the western North American mountains, it thrives across USDA zones 5-9, showing off with a generous revelation of vibrant, bluish-green foliage that transforms into a captivating purplish-bronze hue when winter graces your garden. Come spring, your senses are tickled with the sweet fragrance of bright yellow flowers – a picturesque contrast to the wintry hues from just months prior. The floral show evolves into a surge of shiny, blue-black berries by late summer, setting an enticing feast for chirping birds and fluttering butterflies. Tolerant to a host of climates, this charming shrub allows the luxury of adaptability, favoring well-drained soil under full sun to partial shade. Sporting a tasteful sprawl with a height of up to 1 foot and a spread of up to 3 feet, the Creeping Mahonia works excellently as a ground cover or border plant, while its unwavering resistance to pests and droughts make it an inviting choice for any green-thumbed gardener looking for a reliable, low-maintenance shrub fitting for slopes, borders, or groundcover.
