Skimmia 'Kew Green'

Skimmia 'Kew Green' is a fantastic architectural evergreen shrub, grown for its magnificent floral display. This is a male variety, so it does not produce berries. Instead, its main feature is the huge, domed clusters of highly fragrant, greenish-white flowers that create a spectacular show. The prominent flower buds provide interest for many months before they open, making it a brilliant plant for year-round structure.

For the best performance and to maintain its deep green leaf colour, Skimmia 'Kew Green' must be planted in a position with partial to full shade. It thrives in moist but well-drained, humus-rich soil and requires acidic conditions to flourish. Pruning is seldom needed as this shrub naturally maintains a tidy, domed shape. If any light shaping is desired, it must be done immediately after the flowers have faded to avoid removing the following cycle's display.
