Enjoy year-round structure and outstanding winter colour with the bright red berries on the female cultivar, Skimmia Japonica ‘Cleopatra’. A compact and attractive shrub, it grows clusters of red berries that contrast beautifully against its dark green glossy foliage.
In spring this shrub grows small, lightly scented ivory white flowers, that not only look charming but are a great way to attract bees and other pollinators into your garden.
The ideal choice for brightening flowerbeds and borders, it is also an excellent addition to winter container arrangements. Plant it alongside hellebores, winter heathers or trailing ivy for winter displays that standout.
Low maintenance and easy to grow, simply plant the fully hardy Skimmia Japonica ‘Cleopatra’ in a shaded or partially shaded position in moist but free draining soil. It requires minimal pruning and maintenance throughout the year.
To ensure you get a repeat show of bright berries the following year plant it near to a male cultivar such as Skimmia Rubella to ensure cross pollination.
