Looking for a skimmia with real character? Skimmia ‘Finchy’ is a great choice. Skimmia ‘Finchy’ is a compact evergreen shrub grown for fragrant spring flower buds and bright berries or buds that give winter interest in the shade. Part of our skimmia range, it arrives from our St Annes nursery well rooted and ready to go into your garden.
Skimmias are compact evergreens for shade, valued for their winter flower buds, scented spring flowers and bright berries on female plants.
Skimmia ‘Finchy’ grows best in part or full shade, in moist, well-drained, neutral to acidic soil or ericaceous compost. It is a good choice for winter pots, and also works well for shade borders, low-maintenance planting and winter containers. Pair it with heathers, leucothoe, ivy and ferns in winter pots and shady beds.
Give the pot a good soak first. Then dig a wide planting hole, enrich the soil with compost, and plant so the top of the root ball sits level with the ground. Firm in gently and water well, then add a mulch to hold in moisture.
Keep moist; feed with ericaceous fertiliser. Needs little pruning; male and female plants are needed for berries. Needs little pruning. Yellow leaves in too much sun.
Excellent in pots. Use a loam-based compost such as John Innes No. 3, make sure the pot has drainage holes, and water regularly in summer, as containers dry out faster than borders.
