Skimmia ‘Marlot’ is a compact evergreen shrub that brings year-round colour and interest to the garden. Its glossy, dark green leaves form a neat, rounded shape, and from autumn through winter it is topped with eye-catching clusters of deep red buds. These open in spring to reveal fragrant white flowers, loved by pollinators.
Perfect for smaller gardens, patios, or containers, ‘Marlot’ is one of the most popular dwarf Skimmias thanks to its tidy growth and long-lasting seasonal display. It pairs beautifully with other evergreens in borders or can be grown on its own in pots where its colourful buds and flowers can be enjoyed up close.
