Skimmia japonica Female
Description
Skimmia japonica Female, commonly known as Japanese Skimmia, is an evergreen shrub prized for its attractive foliage, fragrant flowers, and vibrant red berries. This plant is dioecious, meaning male and female flowers grow on separate plants, and the female plant requires a male pollinator nearby to produce berries.
Suggested Uses
Ideal for shaded borders, woodland gardens, and as a foundation plant. It can also be used in containers to add year-round interest to patios and balconies.
