Skimmia japonica 'Rubinetta'
Skimmia japonica 'Rubinetta' is a compact evergreen shrub that reaches up to 1 meter in height and has a low, spreading habit. It features elliptic, glossy dark green leaves that are aromatic when crushed. The plant produces large clusters of very small, fragrant white flowers that open from deep red buds in spring. It is a male cultivar, meaning it does not produce berries. Minimal pruning is required, and the plant is susceptible to scale insects and vine weevil when grown in containers. It thrives in moderately fertile, moist but well-drained soil, preferring acidic to neutral soils but tolerating alkaline soils with plenty of humus. The fruit is ornamental and not to be eaten.
