Mahonia eurybracteata subsp. ganpinensis 'Soft Caress' | Soft Caress Mahonia

$0.00

DESCRIPTION
Mahonia eurybracteata subsp. ganpinensis 'Soft Caress' is an evergreen shrub known for its soft, fern-like foliage that creates a graceful, textured appearance in the garden. In autumn to early winter, it produces clusters of small, fragrant yellow flowers, which contrast beautifully with the dark green leaves. These flowers are followed by blue-black berries, adding seasonal interest to the plant.

Originating from a selection of Mahonia eurybracteata native to China, 'Soft Caress' was developed for its compact form and unique, soft-to-the-touch leaves, which set it apart from other Mahonias. Its adaptability to shaded environments and relatively low-maintenance nature make it a popular choice for woodland gardens, as well as for adding texture and color to more formal landscapes.
