Fragrant Sarcococca

One of the earliest flowering evergreen shrubs to grace the garden in the new year, is the scented Christmas box  (Sarcocca confusa). This small evergreen shrub produces masses of creamy white, wonderfully fragrant flowers followed by dark berries which often last until the following winter. The scent really is stunning, when we have a batch in flower under our canopy, we often see customers following their noses to find the plants! , 

Another good selling point of Sarcoccoa is that it will happily grow in almost any location. It grows up to 150cm (5ft) and is easily trimmed if required. It is often planted with other winter garden favorites such as hellebores and snowdrops to give a impressive seasonal display. We have Sarcococca available in our centre at £9.99.
