DESCRIPTION
Skimmia japonica (Male) is an evergreen shrub appreciated for its dense, rounded form and glossy, aromatic foliage. In early to mid-spring, it produces clusters of small, fragrant white flowers, often tinged with pink, adding a delicate charm to the garden. While male plants do not produce berries, they are essential pollinators for female Skimmia, enhancing the ornamental value of nearby berry-bearing specimens.
Native to woodland areas of Japan, China, and Southeast Asia, Skimmia japonica thrives in shaded or semi-shaded locations, making it a versatile choice for gardens with less sunlight. Its year-round foliage and seasonal blooms make it a popular option for mixed borders, foundation plantings, or container displays.
