Skimmia Japonica Pabella 1.5 Litre Pot

Skimmia japonica ‘Pabella’

Compact, evergreen, and elegant, Skimmia japonica ‘Pabella’ is a charming shrub for shaded gardens. Its glossy dark green foliage provides year-round structure, while spring brings delicate creamy-white flower clusters, creating subtle fragrance and attracting pollinators.
