Skimmia japonica 'Rubella' 26cm pot 75+ flowers

Skimmia japonica 'Rubella' is a compact evergreen shrub with deep green foliage, red flower buds and clusters of fragrant white flowers in spring. This established 26cm pot plant, carrying 75+ flowers, gives immediate seasonal impact in a shaded patio container, courtyard or garden border.

Skimmia is a reliable low-maintenance choice for partial or light shade and prefers moist, well-drained soil. It is useful for woodland-style planting, sheltered borders and year-round container displays. 'Rubella' is a male cultivar, so it is grown for its attractive evergreen foliage, red buds and flowers rather than berries; pair with a suitable female Skimmia if berries are required.
