Beijing Beauty Mahonia, a brand-new addition to the Southern Living Plant Collection for the 2025 growing season. This upright evergreen shrub offers year-round interest with its deep green, holly-like foliage, bright yellow flowers in fall and winter, and striking blue-black berries that attract a wide variety of flying friends. Reaching a mature size of 4-5 feet tall and wide, this hardy plant thrives in USDA Zones 7-9 and prefers part shade to part sun conditions. Our new offering of Oregon Grape is an excellent choice for a variety of landscapes. It works beautifully in woodland gardens, where its natural form and shade tolerance make it a standout. It is also a great addition to foundation plantings, offering structure and evergreen interest throughout the year. In shaded borders, this shrub pairs well with ferns, hostas, and other shade-loving plants. Its pollinator-friendly blooms make it a valuable resource for bees in the cooler months, while the berries provide winter food for birds. Additionally, it can be used in mixed evergreen screens, adding a unique textural contrast to traditional hedging plants. This low-maintenance shrub is drought-tolerant once established and deer-resistant, making it ideal for Southern landscapes.
