Sarcococca confusa Sweet Box

When the garden falls silent in winter, Sarcococca confusa Sweet Box emerges as a hidden gem, filling the cold air with a rich, honeyed vanilla fragrance from its delicate white flowers. Tucked beneath its lush, evergreen foliage, these blooms appear in late winter to early spring, just when you need them most. As the flowers fade, glossy black berries take their place, ensuring year-round beauty. Shade-loving, drought-tolerant, and effortlessly elegant, this slow-growing shrub thrives in woodland gardens, foundation plantings, and containers, making it an essential addition for those who crave fragrance and structure in the winter months.
