Mahonia are spectacular shrubs with a useful autumn flowering period, but they can be a bit of a pig thanks to their painful spikes. The difference with 'Soft Caress' is it's the first one to have spine-free leaves, so can be planted near to paths or doorways where you may brush past them. The fragrance is unrivalled too, and offers a powerful aroma for crisp, cool autumn days. £39.99
