Overview

A compact, dome-shaped or taller evergreen shrub (it can be quite variable), with dense clusters of fragrant, creamy-white flowers, which open over several weeks in late winter and spring. This award-winning shrub is perfect for illuminating a shady shrub border or woodland garden. Requiring little routine pruning, it's useful for 'anchoring' taller, upright plants and pollinating female skimmias planted close by.

Specifications

  • Position: full sun
  • Soil: moist, but well-drained soil

Care guide

Start off in a cold frame or under glass, sowing seeds into trays of good seed compost. Thin the seedlings out as they grow, potting them up individually and gradually hardening them off before planting out in spring. Seeds sown in autumn will usually go on to flower earlier than those sown in spring. It will self-seed freely in good conditions. Sow: Sept to Oct or March to May Flowering: May to July Approximate quantity: 100 seeds

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.
