Fragrant Sweet Box
Sarcococca ruscifolia
1 Gallon | Hardiness Zones 7-9
Sarcococca ruscifolia, commonly known as Sweet Box or Fragrant Sweet Box, is an evergreen shrub native to China and East Asia. It features glossy, dark green leaves and highly fragrant, creamy white flowers that bloom in late winter to early spring, followed by bright red berries. Thriving in full to partial shade, this compact, low-maintenance plant reaches heights of 3 to 5 feet, making it ideal for shaded borders, woodland gardens, and as a ground cover. Sarcococca ruscifolia prefers well-drained, humus-rich soil and is resistant to pests and diseases, requiring minimal pruning. Its sweet scent and attractive foliage provide year-round interest, enhancing any garden setting.
