Skimmia japonica Rubella is a compact, evergreen shrub prized for its shade tolerance and long season of interest. Dense heads of deep red flower buds form in autumn and hold through winter, opening to fragrant white flowers in spring. Ideal for containers or shaded borders, it performs best in moist but welldrained, humusrich, acid to neutral soil (avoid chalk). Expect a slow, tidy habit maturing around 11.5m in height and spread.
