Mahonia ‘Soft Caress’ – 4 litre pot

Mahonia ‘Soft Caress’ is an evergreen shrub known for its upright and compact growth habit. This variety can reach a height and spread of approximately 100 cm. One of its notable features is the presence of narrow leaflets that lack spines, ‘Soft Caress’ produces abundant delicate spires of yellow flowers that exude a delightful honey-like fragrance. These bloom in late summer and continue their display into the autumn season. As the flowering season ends, the shrub adorns itself with clusters of blue-black berries, providing a valuable food source for wildlife.

Care instructions:
– Avoid planting directly in the frozen soil.
– Container planting is possible throughout the year; use containers that are large and deep enough to prevent roots from freezing in the winter, and ensure there are drainage holes in the bottom of the container. Planting in small containers will lead to plants becoming rootbound.
– Water well after planting. Water well in dry weather. Avoid waterlogged conditions in winter.
– To maintain the plant’s appearance, remove faded flowers by cutting the stem to a strong leaf without leaving it sticking out of the foliage.
– In the spring, remove the dead and damaged leaves from the foliage.
– Feed weekly when the plant is in flowering season.
