I found it rolling around by the gate in the wind a few weeks ago, not in a
pot but with a perfect rootball and undamaged. I stuck it into some compost
in a pot in the greenhouse and it has now flowered. Can I plant it in the
garden?
Yes, you can plant it in your garden. However, they prefer a rich
moist soil slightly acidic and don't like too wet and heavy. Having
said that, in pot would be much better (I've always grown mine in
pots) because it is far more easier to control the ph this way. If you
have in a part of your garden some acid loving plants, like
amelanchier, rhodos, peris or gentiana (and many more) then it would
be safe to plant your skimmia near them.
