Skimmia
Skimmia is a genus of the Rutaceae family and is native to Asia. Skimmia leaves are positioned at the end of the shoots and the small flowers are clustered. The flowers are between 6-15mm in diameter, (depending on the variety), and have between 4-7 petals on each. Skimmia has a very pungent small when crushed.
Skimmia is also grown commercially as a cut flower these days and three varieties are usually available: Skimmia Japnica Rubella, Skimmia Kew Green and Skimmia Emerald King. Recently skimmia has become a popular cut flower in Autumn wedding flowers.
On the wholesale flower markets skimmia is sold in weighted bunches - usually five at a time. Stem lengths vary from 35-45cm.
