A delightful, compact shrub, Skimmia japonica 'Scarlet Dwarf' has evergreen foliage that is enhanced by clusters of white flowers in spring and red berries in autumn.
Skimmia japonica 'Scarlet Dwarf' is a charming variety with compact and neat growth that is perfect for brightening up shady areas of the garden. With delightful clusters of white flowers in spring, this is then followed by vibrant red berries in autumn, adding colour that lasts through the winter months.
As this is a female variety of Skimmia, it will need a male Skimmia to be in visible proximity for it to pollinate and produce its berries. Once pollinated the berries will add long-lasting colour to the winter garden that is accentuated by the dark green, glossy foliage.
Plant your Skimmia ‘Scarlett Dwarf’ in a range of places around the garden, from pots and containers adding colour to patio and balcony areas, to low maintenance spaces such as woodland areas or along a gravel path. It will then flourish with minimal care and add long-lasting structure and interest to enjoy all year round.
