Post subject: | Mahonia confusa ‘Nari hira’ |
I'd like to get my hands on one of these, but i have no idea where to start. It looks like they are fairly new to cultivation and maybe just available in the US? They look quite different from the standard mahonia you see around, very fine in appearance and almost a chamaedorea radicalis look about it. Does anyone know if there are any UK suppliers? |

Thanks for that Kev, not quite the same as what i have seen , obviously the 'Narihira' variation that gives the finer appearance. http://www.pref.saitama.lg.jp/A06/BQ30/ ... me1086.htm |

The correct name for Mahonia confusa is now M. eurybracteata and there are forms of it in the wild with much narrower foliage than we have become used to. I was given a tiny plant of M. eurybracteata subsp. ganpinensis with very narrow foliage, but it didn't make it. I stock good amounts of standard M. eurybracteata (still labelled as M. confusa) and the variation in foliage colour is notable - anything from yellow-green to pewter. |

That form does look nice, and quite distinct, Vic. I remember seeing a TV programme about Roy Lancaster's garden in Hampshire - which looks stunning. There were many choice plants, including a superb Cordyline indivisa - but I remember being particularly taken by an uncommon shrub growing against a wall Mahonia russellii - I'd rather like one of those...

Nick, do you sell Mahonia russellii? A quick Google reveals it purports to flower twice (sometimes three times) a year, which is quite a selling point. Would you happen to know if the flowers are also scented? |
