The Winter Sun Oregon Grape or Mahonia x media is a lovely flowering shrub that blooms early and provides interest throughout all four seasons. Bold, bell-shaped yellow flowers stand out against the pointed foliage. The blooms are on display from mid to late March and have a pleasing fragrance. New growth has a bronzy hue before transitioning to a glossy green, adding to the visual interest of this evergreen. Dark blue berries ripen by fall, giving this plant another season of interest.

Use this shrub in a mixed bed or container. The flowers draw pollinators, including butterflies and hummingbirds, while the berries bring birds around during the fall. The Winter Sun Oregon Grape is deer resistant, which is particularly helpful since it blooms early in the spring when there are few food sources around. Grow this shrub in zones 6 through 9.

Winter Sun Oregon Grape Care

This Winter Sun Oregon Grape requires partial sun and moist, well-drained soil. Water every other week as necessary, although plants in warm climates may need water more often during summer. Do not water during the winter, as natural precipitation is normally sufficient. Fertilize in late fall or early spring using a balanced plant food.

Pruning is not always necessary, but shape the plant as needed in the spring, after the flowers drop. Trimming the plant will encourage full and bushy growth. Plant it in a protected area that will shield this shrub from gusty winds. Young plants may benefit from support during the winter until they are established.

Winter Sun Oregon Grape Spacing

The Winter Sun Oregon Grape grows 4 to 6 feet tall and wide. Plant shrubs 4 feet apart when designing a flowering hedge.
