The Mahonia in the garden has enough scent to knock one out from two metres away – another plant to buy for the garden or even a large earthenware pot, this one comes from Burncoose in Cornwall. The leaves are a bit intimidatingly prickly but the divine scent in January/February makes up for their harshness.
