Sarcococca confusa

Sarcococca confusa Details

Sarcococca confusa, commonly known as Sweet Box, is a popular, evergreen shrub grown for its foliage and fragrant flowers. It carries glossy, dark green, leathery leaves. Tiny, fragrant, cream-white flowers are produced during late winter and spring, and are followed by glossy, red berries that may persist into the following winter. It typically grows to 1 m tall and the same wide, performing best when planted on a well-drained, sheltered site, in full sun or partial shade. It is tolerant of frosts and short periods of dry. Sarcococca confusa is commonly included in a mixed planting, planted around the base of larger trees, grown around barbecue and other outdoor living areas, planted in shady corners, added to borders, or included anywhere the beauty of this plant can be enjoyed.
