Description

Soft Caress Grape Holly is a revolutionary cultivar that offers all the beauty of mahonia without the sharp spines. Its foliage is composed of very fine, textured, fern-like leaflets that are soft to the touch, making it perfect for planting near walkways. It produces sprays of bright yellow flowers in late summer or fall, followed by blue berries. Its compact, mounding habit and unique texture make it an outstanding choice for containers, shady borders, or Asian-inspired gardens.

• Spineless, Fern-Like Foliage: The defining feature—long, graceful, pinnate leaves with narrow, soft leaflets that are completely touchable.

• Compact & Refined Habit: Forms a neat, dense, and symmetrical mound, typically 3-4 feet tall and wide.

• Late Season Blooms: Flowers in late summer to fall, extending the season of interest.

• Versatile for Small Spaces & Containers: Its size, texture, and safety make it ideal for patios, entryways, and detailed plantings.

• Shade Loving & Low Maintenance: Thrives in partial to full shade with minimal care. Deer resistant.
