Re: Skimmia (Suzanne Pierot)

Fieldstone Gardens in Maine sells Bergenia cordifolia 
(_www.FieldstoneGardens.com_ (http://www.FieldstoneGardens.com) ); seed for  Begonia grandis ssp. 
evansiana is available from _www.robsplants.com/plants/BegonGrand.php_ 
(http://www.robsplants.com/plants/BegonGrand.php) ;  Herronswood in Warminster, 
PA, sells several cultivars (_www.herronswood.com_ 
(http://www.herronswood.com) ) as does Taylor  Greenhouses (_www.taylorgreenhouses.com/index.html_ 
(http://www.taylorgreenhouses.com/index.html) )  in Portland, NY.
Skimmia japonica is rated hardy only in Zone 7 and warmer, so  you may want 
to pass. It will survive in colder locations but likely will  require 
significant winter protection, and who wants to bother with that when  other fine 
shrubs are available.
 
Hope this helps. Karan Davis Cutler
