| Positive | spanky_MD | On May 19, 2009, spanky_MD from Lutherville Timonium, MD wrote: I have two of these in a garden where deer come often. They have eaten hostas and young azaleas growing next to the skimmias but have not touched the skimmias.
The glossy dark green leaves are beautiful and they grow fairly quickly. The only problem is that they're a little hard to find in nurseries. Azaleas are way more popular here, which is a shame for skimmia fans. |
| Positive | Bubbah | On May 25, 2008, Bubbah from Memphis, TN wrote: The leaves are EXTREMELY fragrant when crushed and make a great popourri addition. This plant looks like it may be related to the anise species. |
| Positive | bbc | On Dec 3, 2004, bbc from Chesterfield, NJ (Zone 6b) wrote: I have very deep shade areas in summer due to many Shaggy Bark Hickory trees creating a full canopy. The Skimmia along with Liriope are some of the few plants that have thrived in this dark setting. |

Finland (Zone 4b) wrote:Skimmia is a hardy evergeen bush which can be grow either inside or outside. It survives even the Southern Finland winters, so I think it can be grown in USDA zones 4-5 also. Don't plant it alone in the middle of garden, it likes to grow with a few other skimmias. |
| Positive | Terry | On Aug 30, 2001, Terry from Murfreesboro, TN (Zone 7a) wrote: Beautiful glossy leaves are fragrant and evergreen. The white flowers are larger and more fragrant on the male plant. The berries that appear on pollinated female plants make it worthwhile to plant both male and female plants. |
