Skimmia japonica (female) Details

Skimmia japonica (female) is a handsome, evergreen shrub. It features mid-sized, glossy, dark green leaves held on a densely branched plant.

It grows with a rounded shape to about 1.3 m tall and the same wide and can be trimmed as necessary. Best results with this plant are achieved when planted in full sun on a well-drained site that does not dry out. It will tolerate moderate frost though it should be protected while establishing.
