Description
Marvel Mahonia is a new, statuesque selection of grapeberry mahonia with many very special attributes. In our gardens here in north-central Georgia it produces pretty candle-like clusters of fragrant, bright yellow flowers at the tops of branches. The flowers are followed by attractive grape-like clusters of bluish-purple berries that add extra appeal in the landscape and are relished by birds. But the flowers and berries aren’t the only great attributes. Frond-like, evergreen leaves develop in whorls along horizontally layered branches on vertical stems provide unique texture and form in the landscape that contrasts nicely with any other types of plants nearby.
Marvel Mahonia is one of a few evergreen shrubs that not only grows well but thrives under the canopies of large shade trees. It is also useful as a natural hedge or as an accent, in groupings or to frame an entryway in shady home foundation plantings. Hosta Lilies, perennial ferns and other shade-loving plants make great companions.
Landscape & Garden Uses
Growing 5 to 6 feet tall and 3 to 4 feet wide, Marvel Mahonia is ideal for use as an accent in groupings or as a natural hedge in landscape borders and home foundation plantings. Also does quite well as a solo or combined with other shade-loving plants in pots, planters and other containers. A fine addition to shade gardens, yellow theme gardens, Asian theme gardens and cottage gardens. Consider Creeping Jenny or Vinca minor (Evergreen Periwinkle) as an underplanting.
Suggested Spacing: 2.5 to 3 feet apart for hedges or groupings; 6 feet or more apart for space between plants
How To Measure Total Square Feet Of A Planting Area
How Many Plants Needed To Cover A Planting Area?
Note: For our customers who live and garden North of USDA Cold Hardiness Zone 6a, where this Mahonia is not reliably winter hardy, you’ll be happy to know it can be grown in containers that can be brought indoors during winter and place back outside when temperatures warm up in spring.
Growing Preferences
Marvel Mahonia is very easy to grow in most any moist but well-drained soil of average fertility and shade to part shade. Morning sun with afternoon shade is okay, but avoid direct afternoon sun. Very easy to maintain requiring little or no pruning.
Plant Long & Prosper!

Hi Team Wilson,
Thanks for the e-mail and the opportunity to share my feedback with you. I’m sure I’m not your best customer, but over the past couple of years I’ve purchased several plants from you and have been happy with the quality as well as customer service. I had a question about a bottlebrush buckeye I purchased a while ago and you answered my question promptly and it is doing well at this point in time. In fact, I am going to order the red variety of this plant, probably in the spring.
I did want to send you a picture of the latest Marvel Mahonia I purchased from you. At first I thought the top had suffered sun or cold damage, but when we went to plant it the top just lifted off. It appears the damage was done in the packaging. That said, we just took off the top portion and checked that there were no bores that could have possibly caused the issue, then planted it and it is doing well.
Thanks again for this opportunity to send you feedback. I wish we weren’t on opposite sides of the country but am happy to have found your nursery and love the fact that you carry so many rare and unusual plants that I can’t source here locally in WA state.
Cheers!———————————————————-So gled it turned out okay! We are so glad you are pleased and we hope you enjoy it for years to come! Thanks for the great review! 🙂 Beth Steele | WBG
