Product description

Mahonia 'Cabaret' is a spectacular, compact evergreen shrub celebrated for its highly unusual and incredibly vibrant late-season floral display. Breaking away from traditional yellow Mahonia varieties, this spectacular cultivar produces striking sprays of bright orange-red buds that slowly open to reveal beautifully contrasting yellow flowers from late summer deep into autumn. The fragrant blossoms provide an essential late-season nectar source for foraging bees, eventually giving way to clusters of blue-black berries that attract wild birds to the winter garden.

When establishing this striking evergreen, choose a position in partial or full shade, although it will easily tolerate full sun provided the soil remains consistently moist. It is a highly robust, fully hardy shrub that adapts well to almost any soil type, bringing much-needed structural volume to difficult, shaded garden borders where other plants often struggle. It requires very little ongoing maintenance to thrive, naturally forming a dense, architectural mound of spiky foliage that turns stunning shades of reddish-bronze during cold winter weather.
