Skimmia jap. 'Finchy' 3L
This makes a cool-effect upright small shrub with lustrous, rather sheeny dark green leaves that complement the creamy green flower buds. These are held in good-sized bell-shaped panicles and remain a feature all through winter. In spring they open to small starry white flowers that are long-lasting. A soothing green groundcover, perhaps beneath showy shrubs, or as a counterpoint to skimmia with red winter buds, or grown in a container to offset others that are very bright! Hint: Most skimmias are either male or female. Both have flowers but only the females have berries. It is necessary to grow both male and female forms to obtain fruits. Why not team up with Skimmia Rubella for a fantastic display.
