Mahonia ‘Soft Caress’
Oregan grape 'Soft Caress'
Most Mahonias are prickly – but as the name suggests, this one is a gentle thornless character. Beautifully divided but incredibly tough evergreen leaves give an unrivalled texture, and fingers of lemon yellow flowers in late summer into autumn add contrast and interest.

Care & Size Guidance
This is a show-stopper for tricky dry shade sites, though moisture is needed to help establish. Mahonia are one of those shrubs that can happily thrive in a huge range of conditions, a thoroughly easy-going evergreen. ‘Soft Caress’ does not get as tall as some of its more well known relatives, but it is still worth allowing a good amount of width for the multi-stemmed shape to develop to its full architectural potential. Because of its tolerance of drier soils, you can always underplant with drought tolerant ground cover such as Heuchera or Hakonechloa.
