Skimmia jap. Rubella C1.5 12-15 flwr.

Skimmia japonica ‘Rubella’ is a compact, evergreen shrub prized for its shade tolerance and long season of interest. Dense heads of deep red flower buds form in autumn and hold through winter, opening to fragrant white flowers in spring. Ideal for containers or shaded borders, it performs best in moist but well‑drained, humus‑rich, acid to neutral soil (avoid chalk). Expect a slow, tidy habit maturing around 1–1.5m in height and spread.
