Mahonia eurybracteata 'Soft Caress'
"The Shade Loving" evergreen that adapts well to most environments and can tolerate a little sunshine along with the rain. The soft caress is similar to its relatives except for the texture of the leaves. Instead of prickly and poking leafy components, the soft caress's leaf is as smooth as molasses. Vibrant yellow blooms followed by dark blue berries enhance the shrub's attribute of being easy on the eyes. *Deer resistant*
