Mahonia aquifolium ‘Compacta’ is an evergreen shrub known for its holly-like foliage, bright yellow spring flowers, edible blue berries, and rich fall colors. It can grow in full sun (if kept moist) and is drought-tolerant when established, but is best in shade with regular watering and well drained-soil. Spreads slowly by rhizomes. Works well for small scale groundcover, low hedges, foundation plantings or borders.
