Skimmia japonica 'Antwerp' – 10.5cm Pot

Skimmia japonica ‘Antwerp’ is a compact evergreen garden plant valued for its neat shape and attractive seasonal interest. Its rich green foliage creates a fresh, full appearance throughout the year, while clusters of flower buds add further colour and character as the plant develops. Supplied at approximately 27cm high in a 10.5cm pot, it is a lovely choice for adding structure to a patio display, border or container arrangement.

This versatile Skimmia works well in a sheltered outdoor position and is especially suited to shaded or partially shaded areas where many flowering plants may struggle. It makes an appealing gift for gardeners and is easy to incorporate into mixed planting schemes. Keep the compost lightly moist while it establishes and avoid allowing the plant to sit in waterlogged soil.
