Aqua Finchy Festive Planter - Ready-made Potted Plants

For anyone who'd rather keep Christmas calm: an aqua glazed egg pot planted with a skimmia Finchy, in a palette of soft blue-green, deep green and white.Finchy carries its buds in neat clusters. They start green, which sits nicely with the glaze, then open to white flowers above the polished leaves. Nothing shouts, but it all looks considered, the sort of pot that suits a painted front door, London stock brick or a pale rendered wall.Skimmia is a shade-lover, so it's a sensible choice for a balcony or basement step that doesn't see much sun. And if you'd like it in the ground one day, it can be planted out into a shady border with lime-free soil, where it'll carry on as a neat evergreen shrub.
