#ProPlantTips for Care

No need to be concerned with light conditions. Reeve’s Skimmia does prefer a rich, moist, well-drained soil for best performance.

This is a plant to use Nature Hills Root Booster in your planting soil. The beneficial microbe mix is used by our expert plantsmen to create a life-long symbiotic relationship with tiny feeder roots.

Follow the directions on the packet. You’ll boost the performance by enabling your new plant to successfully gain access to moisture and nutrients.

Water regularly to support your plants. Add a three-inch layer of mulch over the root system, pulling it back from directly touching the stems.

Prune to correct shape after flowering. Or…snip while they are in bloom to bring indoors for delectable cut flower arrangements.

Deer don’t tend to prefer these shrubs. However, we always recommend repellent spray if you have concerns.
