Overview

This wonderful evergreen will provide year-round interest. It comes into bloom in late spring, producing generous clusters of scented white flowers - and if there is a male skimmia nearby ('Kew Green', 'Rubella' or 'Fragrans' would be ideal), it will go on to form snow-white berries in autumn. The backdrop of the rich green foliage acts as the perfect showcase for both the flowers and the fruits, but at other times of the year, it provides that all-important structure to mixed or shrub borders. A relatively compact form, 'Kew White' is also ideal for pots.

How your order will arrive

Pots and Packaging
Larger pots (2L and above) are wrapped in waxed paper and then attached to a cardboard base so they stay stable in the box. The waxed paper prevents the compost from spilling out and gives the base some added protection from damp compost. For large numbers of plants, pallets may be used for shipping.

Preparation
The nursery will ensure the plant is moist while it's waiting to be picked up. Our quality control team waters the plant before packing them where necessary to make sure that the plant is suitably watered for transport. Plants with long delicate stems are secured with canes to prevent damage.

Plant on Arrival
Typically plants are delivered ready to plant and will take some time to settle, grow and look more like the product image above.
