Skimmia japonica 'Rubella'


Skimmia japonica 'Rubella' (Skimmia japonica)

I took out an unhappy Convulvulus cneorum and did some shuffling. I put in a Skimmia for some winter colour.

Thought I'd put a skimmia like yours in my front gaden border - They are alright in some shade aren't they? Hoping to tackle that in half term Spritz!

Absolutely! They also prefer acid-y soils, but I have sequestrene to hand in case the leaves get yellowy.
