| Sarcococca confusa.. |
It's that time of year when I was lyrical about Sarcoccoca also known as Sweet Box. We have 3 biggish shrubs in the lower border and a I kid you not, they fill the entire garden with scent from their tiny insignificant flowers! Now you can't say that about many other plants in a cold and frosty January no less! I so believe that every single garden in the country needs this plant - no matter how big or small.
Chris finds it a tad overpowering (probably a man thing!) but I just l-o-v-e it! It's absolutely no trouble and dead easy to grow. It's evergreen and after flowering has lots of shiny black berries! There are several varieties but Sarcococca confusa is my favourite. 3 sprigs of these will fill a HUGE room with fragrance and beats any synthesised air fresheners!
