Key features

Sarcococca confusa (Sweet Box)

Winter is when this plant comes into its own - small, sweetly scented flowers open along the stems when much of the garden is dormant.

When left to its own devices this Chinese species forms a dense, compact mound over time - reaching around 1.5m in both height and width.

Well-drained soils in shade or dappled light are perfect fot Sweet Box. Provide shelter from cold winds to help prevent leaf stress in exposed areas.
