Flowering Period

Skimmia japonica 'Miracle' is a stunning evergreen shrub that captivates gardeners with its delightful combination of fragrant flowers, striking red berries, and lush, glossy leaves. This plant is particularly favored for shaded areas of the garden, where its compact, bushy growth habit can thrive. The deep green foliage not only provides a rich backdrop but also maintains its vibrant appearance throughout the year, making it a reliable choice for those looking to enhance their outdoor spaces.

In the spring, 'Miracle' showcases its creamy-white flowers, which emit a pleasant fragrance that attracts a variety of pollinators, adding life and activity to the garden. As the seasons change, female plants produce bright red berries during autumn and winter, creating a stunning visual contrast against the evergreen leaves. This seasonal interest not only enhances the aesthetic appeal of the garden but also provides a food source for birds and other wildlife during the colder months.

To ensure optimal growth, Skimmia japonica 'Miracle' thrives in partial to full shade and prefers sheltered locations that protect it from harsh weather conditions. It flourishes in moist, well-drained soil that ranges from acidic to neutral, making it versatile for various garden settings. This hardy shrub is well-suited for shaded borders, woodland gardens, and even container planting, offering a low-maintenance option that consistently delivers ornamental beauty throughout the year. Its resilience to typical winter conditions across the UK further solidifies its status as a beloved choice among gardeners. Height: 60 cm (24 in) Spread: 60 cm (24 in).

Grow Skimmia plants in a dappled or fully shaded position, in moderately fertile, rich, well drained soil which can be neutral to acidic in pH. Avoid full sun, as this can cause yellowing of the leaves. Alternatively grow Skimmia in large containers, using a soil based compost such as John Innes No.3 mixed with ericaceous (acidic) compost.

Live Plants

Dobies strives to ensure that all its plants are delivered to you in the perfect condition for planting. While the majority of our nursery plants cope well with slight delays in intransit, sadly, the time it takes to deliver to certain locations in the UK means that we can't guarantee this for some of our smaller plug products and tender bedding and vegetable lines, which do not respond well to the extra journey time. So regretfully while we offer the majority of our live plant offering nationwide, we are unable to ship plugs, begging plants and tender vegetable plants to the following areas: HS, IV41-IV49, IV51, IV55-56, KW15-KW17, PA34, PA41-48, PA60-PA78, PA80, PH40-PH44, TR21-TR24, ZE1-ZE3.

What our customers say

"Very impressed with the quality of leek and broad bean seeds you sent. Excellent germination and look forward to a bumper crop. Will certainly be back."

E. Smyth

“I bought all my seeds, potatoes, etc. from your catalogue last year for my new ‘larger’ vegetable garden. I have to say I have never had such success in the garden. The germination was excellent; the quality of plant stock and produce is superb."

Sadie

“I am compelled to write to you and your staff for the exemplary service provided by your company, in an age where the word and term ‘service’ has lost its meaning.”
