A compact, dome-shaped, or taller evergreen shrub (it can be quite variable), with dense clusters of fragrant, creamy-white flowers in April and May and aromatic, pointed, mid-green leaves. This award-winning shrub is perfect for illuminating a shady shrub border or woodland garden. Requiring little routine pruning, it's useful for 'anchoring' taller, upright plants and pollinating female skimmias planted close by. - Garden care: Lightly trim after flowering, if necessary. To improve the moisture retention qualities of the soil add plenty of well-rotted compost when planting.
