Skimmia japonica ‘Male’

A stiff dense mound forming shrub. Obovate green broad leaves. Large clusters of abundant small sweetly scented white flowers in spring and summer. This is a male form so will help a female form produce more berries if planted near this plant. They grow best in partial shade on well drained but good soil; with adequate moisture. Not as many flowers result if planted in heavy shade. Hardy to cold.
