During winter, this compact, hardy evergreen shrub comes into its own displaying a neat rounded habit perfect for pots. Incredibly easy to grow, Sarcococca is becoming an en-vouge plant which thrives in full shade where other plants fail. Graced with lustrous dark-green leaves which provide the perfect backdrop to its delicate dangling flowers, come November, masses of tight buds housing gorgeously-scented flowers begin to open.
