Every garden demands a few fragrant flowers. During the winter months, the Sarcococca flowers give the most enticing and powerful fragrance – a wonderful garden ‘bonus' for those dark, cold winter months! Sarcococca plants are particularly resilient and tough. They relish both partial and deep shade. You'll find you can grow these plants into a low box-like hedge. In fact, many gardeners refer to the Sarcococca as Sweet Box or Christmas Box.

Sarcococca hookeriana var .digyna has purple-tinted stems and leaves which are weatherproof and leathery to the touch. From winter onwards, firecracker-like blooms emerge with a wonderful fragrance. They are soon followed by dark black berries. Plant it by the back door, in large patio containers or in borders. Height: 1.5m (5'). Spread: 2m (6').
