Mahonia: Funky Flow

Part shade is ideal, though it tolerates full sun. Morning sun with afternoon shade is best to prevent leaf scorch in our hot Charleston climate.

Keep soil moist but well-drained. Once established, it is drought-tolerant, but requires regular deep watering during its first year. Avoid constantly soggy soil to prevent root rot

You can create a dense shrub by pruning back the tallest stems in early spring to encourage new growth at the base. We recommend Bond Bypass Pruners.

Your plant needs food too! We suggest Espoma Holly Tone. 

Proper nutrition is important to the health of your plant and its longevity. To ensure your plant is getting the appropriate nutrition, use a fertilizer labelled for this plant type and apply according to the label.
