Mahonia repens 'MonRws' | Darkstar Creeping Oregon Grape

$0.00

DESCRIPTION
Mahonia repens 'MonRws' produces clusters of bright yellow flowers in mid to late spring, the small blooms gathered in upright sprays that rise above the foliage. The blossoms are followed by dusty blue berries that add seasonal interest later in the year. Low stems carry leathery leaves divided into several holly-like leaflets with softly spined edges. The evergreen foliage emerges deep green before developing rich burgundy to purple tones that intensify through the growing season and often deepen further in cooler weather.

This cultivar traces its heritage to Mahonia repens native to western North America. In gardens it provides colorful evergreen groundcover for borders, woodland plantings, and native landscapes where the flowers attract pollinators and the berries support birds.
