Winter Colour Plants: Skimmia, Christmas Rose and Hellebores

27 products

Skimmia holds red buds through autumn and winter, Christmas roses open white flowers from midwinter, and Lenten roses follow in late winter. Together they cover the dullest months in a shady border or a pot by the door.

Christmas rose timing varies with the winter, and flowers usually appear between January and March rather than on Christmas Day. See our winter planter guide for how to combine them.
