Skimmia japonica Obsession, 3L
£60.00
notes
For winter colour, you can’t beat a skimmia. This compact shrub bears glossy, dark green leaves, which in summer are adorned with small, pale pink, fragrant flowers that attract bees and other pollinators. As the flowers fade and autumn arrives, they give way to glossy, bright red berries -offering a welcome burst of vibrant colour to the border when little else is in bloom. Skimmia japonica 'Obsession' is self-fertile, meaning it doesn’t require a partner plant to produce its striking berries, making it an easy and rewarding choice for year-round interest.
Dimensions
