One of the best-kept secrets in terms of winter plants is “Soft Caress” Mahonia! Here at Ninja Lawns, we love to use this cultivar because of it’s vibrant yellow flower stems that crop up during late fall and early winter…perfect for those of you who are seeking happy colors in your landscaping, even during the cold months!
“Soft Caress” is also beautiful year-round. Thin, green spear-like leaves add great texture and movement to ’round-the-house beds and walkways, all the while keeping their blooms under wraps until the cold weather sets in.
Plant this mahonia cultivar in an area that gets partial sun to shade, placing in well-drained soil, especially if using containers.
