Skimmia japonica Magic Marlot is a compact, slow-growing evergreen prized for its neat, variegated foliage with creamy-white margins. Deep red buds are held through autumn and winter, opening to fragrant white flowers in spring (AprilMay). Thrives in partial to full shade and is excellent for containers or shaded borders in moist but well-drained, moderately fertile, humus-rich soil that is acid to neutral; avoid chalky soils and strong afternoon sun.
