Mahonia pumila ex AHCK 103 (Dwarf Barberry)

Family:  BerberidaceaeZone: 7 - 9 Natural Range: Oregon, CaliforniaSoil:  Average-dry, humus rich, Well drained Light: part shade, sun Height: 6" - 12" Attributes: Evergreen suckering shrub.  Brilliant purple, red, blue green foliage when planted in at least half a days worth of sun.  Yellow flowers early summer, blue fruit in fall. Notes:  I can't say enough about this small Mahonia species.  The color is better than any other of the native Mahonia species and each leaf is ringed with a light colored line.  Rarely taller than 6" and forms a loose low clump of foliage.  It often grows in association with Arctostaphylos species. Pot Size:  Medium Band Pot
