 | | | Shade Loving Perennials: Sweet box (Sarcococca)
Sarcococca is a really useful and often over-looked small evergreen, flourishing in shady difficult corners, flowering in the depths of winter and smelling deliciously of honey. We have a lovely bush by the front door. Good cover for small birds, which also eat its berries, and forage for honey bees on a warm February day.
Varieties:
confusa: white flowers, black berries
ruscifolia: cream flowers, red berries
Flowers: September - October
Soil type: Fertile, moist, well drained
Supplier : Burncoose Nurseries
