Common Name: Skimmia
Skimmias are easy-care and handsome evergreen shrubs that also bear fragrant flowers in spring, plus some varieties have the added bonus of decorative long-lasting berries in autumn and winter. These slow-growing shrubs are excellent for structure in the border or in pots, forming rounded mounds of oval, leathery, dark green or reddish green leaves. Large clusters of white or greenish flowers, borne in spring, are often very fragrant.
