Mahonia bealei Cultivation | Propagation | General Uses Cultivation Notes: Thrives in any good garden soil[11]. Grows well in heavy clay soils. Survives under quite heavy tree cover[11], thriving in dense shade[182]. Prefers a semi-shaded woodland position in a damp, slightly acid to neutral humus-rich soil[200]. The fully dormant plant is hardy to about -20°c[184], though the young growth in spring can be damaged by late frosts. Scarcely distinct from M. japonica[11, 200], differing mainly in its broader leaflets which are placed closer together on the stem and its erect flower racemes[245]. It is often treated as a subspecies of M. japonica, despite the fact that this species is found in the wild whilst M. japonica is a cultigen and not a wild plant[11, 200]. Plants of the two species are often confused in cultivation. The flowers are sweetly scented[245]. Hybridizes freely with other members of this genus.
