This compact, mound-forming shrub is essential for winter interest in the garden. Its dark green, glossy leaves provide a perfect backdrop for the clusters of deep red flower buds that appear in autumn and remain attractive throughout the coldest months. In spring, these buds open to reveal panicles of white, sweetly scented flowers that are a magnet for bees. As a male clone, it does not produce berries itself but is an excellent pollinator for female Skimmia varieties.
It thrives in shady spots where other plants might struggle, making it perfect for woodland borders or north-facing containers. It pairs beautifully with winter-flowering Heathers or Hellebores. To ensure the plant establishes a strong root system, we recommend using Rootgrow when planting. To support vigorous growth and a profusion of flowers, apply Vitax Q4 All Purpose Fertiliser in early spring.
