Sarcococca (Sweet Box) 1G

Fragrant Winter Blooms with Evergreen Shade Appeal

Introducing Sarcococca, commonly known as Sweet Box, a compact evergreen shrub treasured for its intensely fragrant winter flowers and shade-loving nature. In late winter to early spring, small creamy-white blooms appear along the stems, releasing a sweet, vanilla-like scent that perfumes the garden when little else is in bloom. Glossy dark green foliage provides year-round structure and elegance. Grown in a 1-gallon pot, it’s an excellent starter size for shaded borders and foundation plantings.
