Mahonia eurybracteata 'Meteor'

Explosive late?season colour comes from Mahonia eurybracteata 'Meteor', a compact evergreen shrub that earns year?round attention with glossy, finely divided, spine-free foliage that emerges red before maturing to deep green. In late summer and into autumn it produces upright spikes of bright golden?yellow, honey?scented flowers when most other plants have finished. The bright flowers are a magnet for pollinators and are followed later by clusters of blue?black berries that add seasonal charm and wildlife value. Its tidy, rounded habit and vibrant year-round leaf colour make it perfect for shaded borders, woodland edges or containers in shady corners of the patio. Ultimate height: 1.2m (4ft). Ultimate spread: 1m (3.2ft).
