Skimmia japonica starting to flourish....I hope.

I bought a couple of these last winter, sold as Christmas decoration, and potted them on. They have scented out the greenhouse for the last few weeks, so were a real bargain. I think, like you, I will keep them in pots. Yours looks good with the sempervivums. Clever idea.

Thanks Ange, I’ve another fine in a pot in a shadier area. The latter hasn’t flowered, but is very lush.
I do agree, you got a great bargain at Christmas with two of them.
I added the sempervivums as I had a few ‘spare’ and thought I’d try this ‘look’ and see how it goes...seems to be going fairly well!
Thanks again, Ange.

Nice litle Skimmia ...love the smell too

Thank you Paul and Mossy, I'm hoping to enjoy the scent now that it has put on growth and finally perked up!!!

one of my favourite scents at this time of year. followed by lime trees and broad beans.

Thank you, Eileen..it really does have a lovely scent!

Mine seem to better in pots Kate as they wouldn't like my clay soil!

That’s good info, Rose. I’m enjoying the scent..
