Sarcococca confusa | Sweet Box

$0.00

DESCRIPTION
Sarcococca confusa produces small, creamy white flowers along its stems, opening in winter and releasing a rich, sweet fragrance that carries through the garden. Glossy, deep green leaves are narrow and leathery, forming a dense, tidy framework that remains attractive year-round. The flowers are tucked along the stems, their understated appearance contrasted by their powerful scent, followed by shiny black berries that add subtle interest after bloom.

Native to western China, this species has long been valued for its ability to bring scent and structure to shaded garden spaces. It is well suited to woodland borders, foundation plantings, and pathways, where its winter flowering and evergreen presence provide seasonal interest and sensory appeal.
