Narihira Mahonia

If you desire a plant that resembles bamboo but does not have all the negative and invasive growth habits, then Narihira Mahonia is the plant for you. With its intensely green, feathery foliage, fall flower spikes and ability to thrive in even the warmest climates, this evergreen shrub brings a tropical flair wherever used in the garden. Growing at a moderate rate of speed, Narihira matures to a height and width of around 3 to 4 feet.

• Adds a tropical feel to gardens
• Evergreen with year-round color
• Fall flowers attract hummingbirds
• Thrives in shadier locations
• Low-maintenance requirements

Narihira Mahonia has an upright, bushy but rounded form. The narrow and soft spineless green leaves have a fern-like appearance, densely filling in the shrub. In fall, tall spikes of yellow flowers form, which attract hummingbirds to the garden. Once the flowers fade, purple-blue berries form, adding even more color and interest to the evergreen.
