$0.00

DESCRIPTION
Mahonia x media 'Charity' is an evergreen shrub admired for its bold architectural presence and bright yellow flowers. The long, upright racemes of fragrant blooms appear from late autumn through winter, adding a burst of color to gardens during the colder months. These flowers are followed by small, blue-black berries, which attract birds and provide additional seasonal interest.

Originating from horticultural efforts to combine the best traits of its parent species, 'Charity' is known for its hardiness and adaptability. Its dramatic, pinnate foliage with spiny leaflets lends year-round texture and visual appeal to gardens.
