Skimmia 'Finchy'

Skimmia 'Finchy' is a superb, compact evergreen shrub that provides outstanding long-season interest. As a male variety, its main display is the large, showy panicles of greenish-white flower buds that are held prominently above the foliage for many months. These buds then open into highly fragrant white flowers. It will not produce any berries but is an excellent pollinator for female varieties.

For the best results and healthiest deep green foliage, Skimmia 'Finchy' requires a position in partial to full shade with moist, well-drained, and acidic soil. This low-maintenance shrub needs very little pruning, as it naturally forms a neat, compact dome. If any light shaping is required, it should be done immediately after flowering has finished to avoid removing the buds for the following display.
