Frost hardy to upper USDA zone 7 to low zone 8. 4in @ $12, 6in @ $18, 2g @ $28, 3g @ $42 Berberidaceae Mahonia lomariifolia An old-fashioned but often difficult to find component of western and southern gardens from eastern Asia, the 10 ft graceful stalks produce 18" leaves with multiple leaflets of a blueish green and winter flowers of a fragrant bright yellow, usually at peak around New Year's Day.
