Nursery contributed plant descriptions

This fairly new mahonia has fine textured leaves. The plant looks somewhat like a bamboo. M. 'Soft Caress' will get 2'-3' tall and is really beautiful year round. Small, yellow flowers in the fall.

Delicate soft foliage (not prickly like other Mahonias) on this shade-dwelling beauty with fragrant long spikes of yellow flowers from fall through winter, silver-blue berries follow. Sh-PSh/M-GDr

This is a great plant! Mahonia are some of the most ornamental broadleaf evergreens, but most have spiney leaves that turn off some gardeners. Soft Caress eliminates the spines and has narrow bamboo-like leaves that still maintain the fantastic architecture and texture of the species. Yellow flowers bloom in late winter to early spring. Small growing to 3-4' tall.

We usually think of Mahonias as mean and spikey. This one will change everything. Soft Caress has a million uses- containers, companions, sun or shade, poor soil, rich compost. Yellow flower spikes in early spring. PP 20183
