Sarcococca confusa

The tiny white flowers have a heady but sweetly scented that hits you as you walk passed the plant. The blooms nestle between the evergreen, thick, shiny, dark green leaves on woody stems. A low-growing shrub this forms a wide bush if pruned or a tall one if left untouched. It tolerates many soils and prefers shade. I grow this plant on the north side of the house, where in late winter - early spring, so that I can enjoy the beautifully scented flowers.
