Mahonias are grown for their attractive foliage and fragrant, showy winter flowers. They provide an invaluable source of pollen and nectar for winter colonies of bumblebees and other pollinators.

Mahonia repens is a creeping Oregon grape with a low-growing habit and attractive glossy evergreen foliage, which takes on purplish hues in winter. In spring it bears bright yellow, fragrant flowers. It's fantastic for providing groundcover, particularly in shady, woodland gardens. For best results grow Mahonia repens in moist but well-drained soil, in partial shade.
