  • Skimmia japonica is often dismissed as a plant that simply keeps the garden looking presentable through winter, but that really undersells it. This variety ‘Rubella’ in particular is at its best right now. Its soft, blush‑tinted buds and foliage bring a gentle brightness to the garden, and the plant’s compact form makes it an ideal partner for larger specimens such as ornamental cherries (prunus). It’s excellent for underplanting, adding structure, and filling out borders with colour and texture when little else is performing.

  • Happy Spring Equinox! Today marks the balance of day and night; a turning point for gardeners and plants alike. With daylight increasing, growth is picking up and the nursery is full of spring favourites ready for planting. This incredible ornamental cherry featured is Prunus x subhirtella ‘Autumnalis Rosea’, winner of the Award of Garden Merit in 2002 and the Award of Merit in 1960. A classic.

  • Prunus ‘The Bride’ is a graceful, compact flowering cherry that brings a cloud of pure white blossom to the garden in early spring. Masses of single flowers open on bare branches, creating a soft, elegant display that is especially striking against darker backdrops. Fresh green foliage follows, forming a neat, rounded canopy that provides gentle structure through the summer months.

Ideal for smaller gardens or as a specimen tree, it thrives in moist but well-drained soil and a sunny position. Prunus ‘The Bride’ is a refined, low-maintenance choice, offering reliable spring interest and year-round garden appeal. Height 4-8m.
