Plant Characteristics:

Skimmias are valuable evergreens with two seasons of interest: spring flowers and winter berries. But, mostly, they come in male and female varieties so that you need two different plants, one of each, to ensure that those bright scarlet berries are produced on just one of them.
‘Temptation’ is different - it is self-fertile meaning only one plant is needed for fruit and berries to develop. Skimmia ‘Temptation’ is small and bushier and its berries are much bigger and brighter red than Skimmia Reevisana which is also a self-fertile. Skimmia ‘Temptation’ will thrive in well drained soil in sun or partial shade.
