Skimmia or Rutaceae are evergreen shrubs, ideal for planting in a border or woodland garden. They bear small star-shaped flowers in spring, some of which are scented. These are followed, on female plants by round fleshy, red to black fruits. Skimmia Rubella have aromatic dark green leaves and clusters of deep red flower buds that open to white in spring, height can reach up to 1.5m.
Skimmia require moist fertile soil and prefer shade or partial shade. Avoid full sun which can cause yellowing of the leaves. Some species such as Skimmia japonica do require both a male and female plant in order to fruit.
