Mahonia 'Soft Caress' is a bushy evergreen shrub with narrow spine-free leaflets. Once the foliage is established in spring, plentiful spires of delivate yellow flowers begin to bloom in late summer, these flowers are scented with a distinct honey-like aroma. Once the flowers begin blooming, it is quickly followed by blue-black berries, providing a nice colourful contrast with the flowers and foliage. A tough and hardy shrub, it can be placed in partial shade or a fully sunny position in your garden. As a compact variety, it looks great as a low-growing ground cover or in an exposed area that could use some nice bright colour.
