Skimmia japonica 'Rubella' is a popular evergreen shrub known for its attractive foliage and striking red flower buds. It is a sought-after plant for Irish gardens due to its suitability for the local climate.

Height/Spread: Skimmia japonica 'Rubella' typically reaches a height of 2-3 feet (60-90 centimeters) with a similar spread, making it a compact and manageable choice for Irish gardens.

Position: This skimmia variety thrives in partially shaded areas, making it well-suited for the Irish climate. It prefers a spot that receives morning sunlight or filtered light throughout the day, while also tolerating shade and protecting it from harsh winds.

Soil: Skimmia japonica 'Rubella' prefers well-draining, acidic soil with a pH level between 5.5 and 6.5. In the Irish climate, it is important to ensure the soil is rich in organic matter and well-amended with compost or peat moss to provide optimal growing conditions.

Flowering Season: 'Rubella' produces clusters of vibrant, deep red flower buds that add color and interest to Irish gardens. The flower buds emerge in late winter or early spring and persist for several weeks, offering an eye-catching display.

Uses: Skimmia japonica 'Rubella' serves multiple purposes in Irish gardens. Its attractive evergreen foliage provides year-round interest, and the striking red flower buds add a splash of color in early spring. This skimmia variety is often used as a focal point in borders, mixed shrub plantings, or as a container plant on patios or balconies. Additionally, the flowers are prized for their ability to attract pollinators, making 'Rubella' a valuable addition to wildlife-friendly gardens in Ireland.
