A wealth of new Skimmia cultivars have appeared in the nurseries in the last year or two,
sold as small plants in full flower to cheer along the last days of winter. This is one of them,
I know nothing about it and it remains to be seen if any of them make decent shrubs in the garden. Under its trading name of LUWIAN, Hilliers Manual says: "A low growing, compact, male selection with light green flower buds turning reddish before opening to fragrant creamy white flowers." Althought it is being distributed with a trading name (LUWIAN) it doesn't seem to be protected by patent and there is little information available. Plants are being sold under the (proper) cultivar name 'Wanto'. |
