Description

Japanese Skimmia is a stunning evergreen shrub native to Japan, celebrated for its vibrant clusters of bright red berries that persist from autumn through winter, providing long-lasting festive color and year-round visual interest. This compact ornamental features glossy dark green leaves that create an elegant backdrop for fragrant creamy-white spring flowers, which develop into spectacular scarlet berry clusters by late summer.

Caring for your Japanese Skimmia

Difficulty Level - Moderate

Light Requirements Size Guide

- Partially Shaded, Low Light

Watering Schedule - Twice a week

Water Japanese Skimmia when the top 2-3cm of soil feels dry to the touch. During UAE's hot months (April-September), water 2-3 times weekly to keep soil consistently moist but never waterlogged. In cooler months (November-February), reduce to once or twice weekly. Skimmia prefers evenly moist, well-draining acidic soil. Avoid letting the root ball dry out completely, as this can cause leaf yellowing and berry drop.This shade-loving plant benefits from consistent moisture, especially during berry development. Mist occasionally to maintain moderate humidity and keep glossy foliage fresh.
