Skimmia japonica rubella 2ltr

Skimmia japonica rubella 2ltr

Skimmia japonica ‘Rubella’ is a stunning evergreen shrub celebrated for its vibrant floral display and attractive foliage. This variety features rich, dark green leaves and produces clusters of bright, aromatic red berries that stand out beautifully against the foliage. ‘Rubella’ is an excellent choice for adding a splash of color and texture to shaded garden beds, borders, or woodland areas.

For optimal growth, plant Skimmia japonica ‘Rubella’ in a location that receives partial to full shade with well-drained, acidic soil. It thrives in environments protected from harsh afternoon sun, which helps preserve the vibrancy of the foliage and ensures a healthy berry set. This shrub is particularly suited to cooler climates and adds a vibrant touch to shaded or woodland gardens.

‘Rubella’ typically flowers in late winter to early spring, with the bright red berries developing over the summer and persisting into autumn. To support robust growth and a good berry set, feed the plant with a balanced, acid-loving fertilizer formulated for rhododendrons and azaleas in early spring, as new growth begins.

Pruning should be carried out after the flowering period. Remove any dead or damaged foliage and spent flower heads to maintain the shrub’s shape and encourage fresh growth. Light pruning helps keep the plant compact and visually appealing.

Skimmia japonica ‘Rubella’ offers year-round interest with its vibrant berries and glossy foliage, making it a beautiful and low-maintenance addition to any garden.
