Plant of the Month for October

Our Plant of the Month for October has to be Skimmia. An evergreen shrub known for its attractive foliage, honey-scented flowers and bright red berries in the Autumn. Plus, it's low maintenance with minimal pruning required! We recommend planting in the early Spring or Autumn, and due to its versatile nature is great in borders and beds for structure, as a hedge when planted in groups, and in pots and containers, adding greenery to patios or doorways. In summary, Skimmia is an excellent choice for gardeners looking for a low-maintenance, shade-loving shrub that provides year-round interest.
