    You can cut it back but the plant could possibly be dead, they didn't do well in the extra low temperatures in December.

    Skimmia

    Depends on where your planters are and what you finally decide on :) Skimmia are hardy, so as long as the planters are near a wall and not in a wind tunnel, you should be OK to replant now.
