Skimmia confusa 'Kew Green'

Skimmia ‘Kew Green’ is a tough, evergreen shrub, useful for its dense, spreading domes of glossy, aromatic leaves that provide a green foil throughout the seasons in addition to fragrant winter/spring flowers. A male hybrid, Skimmia ‘Kew Green’ develops attractive, greenish buds in autumn that last through winter before opening into sweetly-scented, greenish-yellow flowers in late winter and spring. The flowers last for several weeks and are much appreciated at a time of the year when little else is happening in the garden. It makes a good choice for a woodland border, spring border or a low-maintenance front garden. It also works well in a container as a foliage foil for winter bedding plants. Place it somewhere you can readily appreciate its sweet fragrance. ‘Kew Green’ is one of the best male, flowering varieties. A pollinator for female, fruiting varieties, plant it alongside Skimmia japonica 'Olympic Flame' or Skimmia ‘Temptation’ so you can enjoy both flowers and fruit. RHS Award of Garden Merit.
