Quick Guide

  • Compact, dwarf evergreen shrub
  • Fragrant white spring blooms
  • Lustrous dark green foliage
  • Autumn-winter vibrant red berries
  • Ideal for small gardens

Allow your garden to bask in the enduring charm of the Skimmia japonica 'White Dwarf', a delightfully compact evergreen shrub that infuses year-round visual and aromatic allure into any space. With its petite stature and glossy, dark green leaves, it's perfectly suited for smaller gardens, pots, and even balcony containers. Come spring, revel in the delicate, sweet perfume of its tiny white blossoms, an olfactory pleasure that breathes life into any outdoor area. As autumn greets, clusters of lustrous red berries elegantly adorn the foliage, persisting through winter and offering a festive touch. Nestle it amidst ferns or heathers to create a luscious, textured landscape, or pair with vibrant cyclamen for a burst of contrasting colour, ensuring a garden that tantalises the senses throughout the seasons.

Plant Care Guide

Ensuring your 'White Dwarf' thrives is a straightforward affair. Situate it in partial to full shade, safeguarding it from scorching midday sun. While it's drought-tolerant once established, ensures consistent moisture during its initial years and through particularly dry spells. Pruning is generally unnecessary due to its compact nature; however, if shaping is desired, a gentle trim post-flowering will suffice. Protect it from harsh, cold winds to preserve its vibrant foliage and shield its tender blossoms during spring.

Delivery Timeframes

We aim to deliver orders within 2–4 working days. During peak seasons, such as Christmas, delivery times may vary slightly due to increased demand. We will keep you informed at every stage.

Third-Party Couriers

For London postcodes outside a 5-mile radius of our Kentish Town garden centre, we may occasionally use a third-party courier for delivery. In these cases, we try our best to still deliver the items in the requested delivery time slot but please be aware that occasionally this may not always be possible and is out of our control.

Click & Collect

We encourage you to collect from our garden centre in Kentish Town — it saves on delivery costs and gives you the chance to see our full range of plants and products in person.

All Click & Collect orders must be collected within 7 days of being ready, unless a later date has been arranged with us in advance. If an order is not collected within this time, it will be cancelled and a refund issued.

Returns Policy

If you need to return an item, please contact us within 14 days of receipt to arrange a return or exchange. Products must be in their original condition and packaging. Plants may be non-refundable unless they arrive damaged or defective.

Items bought in-store or collected can be returned directly at the garden centre. If you would like us to collect a return and it is in good condition (e.g. you have changed your mind), it must be in its original condition, and the same delivery cost will apply for the return.

Plants marked as reduced for end-of-season clearance are non-refundable, as they are sold specifically to clear stock. This does not apply to special offers or multibuy promotions, which are eligible for returns as per our standard terms.

Creating an urban paradise

Our dream is to transform urban living into a plant lovers' paradise. Making our neighbourhoods a wonderful place is good for our wellbeing and more friendly to the environment. A shared vision that gets us out of bed in the morning.

We've curated a botanical sanctuary

Our team of horticulturists planned our garden centre to show plants in their natural habitat, with inspirational displays. Looking for plants is like taking a walk in a botanical sanctuary.
And for those that consider our canine friends an essential part of life, bring your best mate along. Hopefully, they'll get along with our house cat Blue Bell.

It so happens we stock some fabulous plants

Our garden centre specialises in rare specimen plants beyond the common garden varieties. We also stock everything you need to cultivate your dream garden, home and office, with the largest range of plants, pots and containers in North London. Apparently, visitors consider us  The gardener's garden centre.
