Skimmia Japonica Var. Ovata

Japanese skimmia, scientifically known as Skimmia japonica var. ovata, is a striking evergreen shrub native to Japan and parts of eastern Asia. It is prized for its glossy, dark green leaves and clusters of fragrant, white flowers that bloom in early spring. The plant thrives in partial shade and well-drained soil, making it a popular choice for shaded garden spaces. Its ornamental value has led to its cultivation in many regions beyond its native habitat. With its elegant appearance and relatively low maintenance, Japanese skimmia is a beloved addition to both gardeners' collections and natural landscapes.
