Description
Mahonia nervosa, the dull oregon-grape or Cascade mahonia, is a handsome, evergreen, ground-covering shrub native to BC and the Pacific Northwest. It has emerald green, windmill-like leaves that look like stiff, leathery fern fronds and canary yellow spring flowers that are followed by waxy blue berries in fall. Leaves can take on tints of red and purple in winter. Most effective planted en masse. Great as a low barrier planting, or facing for taller mahonias. Best in shade but tolerant of sun in cooler summer climates. Tolerant of dry shade. Deer resistant.
