Do not give the first impression

We will find it in virtually every horticulture.It is often tucked somewhere in the corner, from the pots stretches a few poorly leafed branches that are not advisable to touch because they pinch like sharpened needles.

Actually, she looks pretty badly and grossly, so few people give her a second glance.Only those who do not give the first impression get a faithful partner and a hard worker who one day, and it won't take long, shine in the garden like a rare jewel.

Glossy leaves with prickly edges are strikingly resembling in the Czech Republic - hence the generic name.In frost they run to bronze.Some of them fall off and release instead of dense tufts of fragrant flowers.The branches are so wrapped in April and May that they look like vanilla pudding.

Mahónie Japanese (m.Japanese) comes from China.Measures about 1.5 m in height and about a meter more in width.Dressed in a beautiful robbery of nearly half -meter of pinnate leaves.They are clustering on the giant rosettes on several floors.A complete architectural dream!

Up to 25 cm long, slender grapes of lemon yellow flowers smelling of lily of the valley crown rosettes that are on the upright branches settled at the highest.When the shrub flashes, you will bloom in November.Sometimes we are surprised by the thaw in the winter when the leaves blush.At other times he waits to the March Sunshine.

Mahónie the middle (m.x Media) is a garden hybrid that is further divided into varieties, the most popular are called Charity and Winter Sun.She has inherited a lot from the parental mahone of the Japanese.
