Common name: Golden Abundance Mahonia
Botanical name: Mahonia 'Golden Abundance'

The selection 'Golden Abundance' is a cross between several species (including the Oregon Grape, Mahonia aquifolium), and is known for its particularly showy flowers. This hybrid has also proven to be remarkably adaptable: the specimen pictured here is in a sunny position in clay soil and receives only occasional summer water; another we have is in peaty soil in heavy shade at the foot of a eucalyptus, receiving regular garden water (which the eucalyptus promptly sponges up). Both have grown to over 4' in 4 years from one gallon pots and will eventually reach 5-8'; the one with more sun has far more flowers and berries.
