Well, winter is well and truly here and getting outside is not for the faint hearted. This week’s plant is not unafraid of these cold, dark days, it loves them. While other plants are in hibernation or looking a bit sad, this compact little warrior is getting ready to go into full bloom.
Skimmia japonica is a fragrant, winter-flowering plant which has dark shiny leaves and bright abundant berries. This compact, slow-growing plant reaches a mature height of 1.5m and a spread of about 2m.
