Sarcococca, also known by many as Sweet Box, is a wonderful, smaller evergreen shrub with glossy green, attractive foliage. However, its best claim to fame are its tiny winter blooming flowers that provide an incredible thick, delightful vanilla-like fragrance. Plant Sarcococca in a place where you can enjoy it. For example near the front entrance or along a walkway. It would be a shame to bury this one deep in the garden where its fragrance would be missed!
Sarcoccoca performs best in part shade but will tolerate full sun in moist, but well drained soils. Preferably soils that are neutral to alkaline with plenty of humus added.
