I have a few of those in our teahouse garden. Very nice there in partial
shade. They tend to sucker a little too. I think I'm going to try and
dig up one of the shoots and put it where the late lamented rhododendron
was.
I have been looking at Mahonia nevinii too and wondering if I have a
place for it.

A few years ago I saw Mahonia aquifolium (Oregon Grape Holly) blooming
in the
Ozark Mountains in Arkansas, and I was hooked.  It took a while to
locate a
source, but I finally found a native plant nursery in Oregon and ordered
some
plants.  Both of them are finally blooming this spring.  Their older
foliage
remains that dark maroon color from the winter which is a great contrast
with
the bright yellow blooms.  The plants are still small, but I'm so
excited
about them.  The first year they were in my yard the deer bit off their
tips
and promptly spit them out.  I don't think they've been bothered again.
It's
small treats like this that make gardening a wonderful thing for me.
