Mahonia napaulensis Cultivation | Propagation | General Uses Cultivation Notes: An easily grown plant, it thrives in any good garden soil[11]. Grows well in heavy clay soils. Prefers a semi-shaded woodland position in a damp slightly acid to neutral humus rich soil[200]. Requires a position sheltered from cold or strong winds[1]. The plant is slightly tender in Britain[1] though it does well in Cornwall[59]. It underperforms in areas where temperatures regularly fall below -10°c[200]. The young growth in spring can be damaged by late frosts[K]. Hybridizes freely with other members of this genus. The flowers have a delicate sweet fragrance[245]. At least one named variety has been developed for its ornamental value. 'Maharajah' appears to be hardier than the type species[182]. Closely allied to M. acanthifolia[11] (which is quoted as a synonym of this species in some books). The differences stated between the two species do not hold true in the wild but in cultivation M. acanthifolia has leaflets with a dull surface, flowers in the autumn and is hardier than many of the spring flowering introductions of M. nepaulensis. Resistant to honey fungus[88]. For further Mahonia napaulensis gardening information |
