Mahonia trifoliolata (Agarita)
$ 62.00
Also known as Agarito, Algerita.
Agarita tells a story of resilient beauty in adversity. Its leaves are tough and holly-like, reminding us that it can fend for itself just fine without our help. And it does. But perhaps you've seen a large Agarita in bloom. A bloom so golden yellow and so fragrant that you immediately desire one in your garden. And when the red berries ripen, you can pick them to make a jelly.
