Skimmia 'Magic Marlot'


Skimmia 'Magic Marlot' (Skimmia japonica (Skimmia))

I bought this tiny Skimmia last year and potted it up to keep for a winter container. Here it is again!

Yes - I bought it last autumn, and it was in this same pot all winter and into spring, until I replanted the pot! It flowers in the winter.

I nearly bought one of those last week - until I saw the price. £14.99!!!

Wow! That's about twice what I paid for mine last year!

Who said inflation is now zero?!

Shame, though - it is a lovely plant! I liked it so much I went and got another one. That's planted in a bed, though. It's doing well, too.

I got mine the same for 2.99 what profit they are making there Andrew. Lovely Spritz, I bought this as it says it changes to 3 colours.

Goodness! What a bargain! Well, the flowers open pink, so I suppose that's two...I can't think what the thrid colour might be, though.

Red is what it said on mine white, pink and red.

I don't recall any red, Morgana....except that I suppose if you look at the flowers close-up, you might see a hint of red when they're open. Not sure, though!

I will watch as mine changes colour and will upload a picture each time it changes.
