Similar to 'Helleri' with its fine texture and small toothcut leaves but in a deeper green color, flexible branches and softer feel (as the name would imply). Works wonderfully when planted in borders, as an accent, or along walkways. Black ornamental berries persist throughout winter for cool season interest.

Care Information

Feed with a general purpose fertilizer before new growth begins in spring. For a tidy, neat appearance, prune annually to shape.
