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.


Thank you and thanks also to Dave Hill I have a very suitable home for my
new Skimmia Japonica.
