Self-Polinating Japanese Skimmia


The Self-Pollinating Japanese Skimmia (Skimmia japonica) is a versatile and attractive evergreen shrub that stands out for its ability to both produce fragrant flowers and develop ornamental berries on a single plant. This unique feature sets it apart from many other dioecious plants in the Skimmia genus, which typically require separate male and female plants for pollination and berry production. The Self-Pollinating Japanese Skimmia boasts glossy dark green leaves and clusters of fragrant white or pink flowers that bloom from late winter to early spring. Following pollination, it forms bright red, decorative berries, adding visual interest and color to your garden throughout the year. With its ease of care, elegant appearance, and the convenience of self-pollination, this Skimmia variety is an excellent choice for gardeners looking to enjoy the beauty of both flowers and berries on a single plant, all while requiring minimal maintenance. It offers year-round appeal and a delightful fragrance during the cooler months, making it a charming addition to your garden.
