Sarcococca Confusa, widely known as Sweet Box, is one of the most rewarding shrubs you can add to your garden, especially during winter. This compact evergreen is famed for its ability to produce small but powerfully fragrant white flowers right through the colder months, when most plants are dormant. Its rich perfume, which intensifies on still winter days, makes it a favourite for gardeners who want scent as well as structure.
Grown in a 3L nursery pot, our Sweet Box is ready for planting in borders, shaded beds, or decorative pots. It features deep green, glossy leaves that retain their colour and shape all year round, providing interest and form even when your garden is not in bloom. In winter, the shrub surprises with creamy-white flowers nestled between the leaves, followed by shiny black berries that persist into spring.
This Sarcococca Confusa shrub is supplied in a 3-litre nursery pot, measuring approximately 18–20cm in diameter. At the time of dispatch, the plant stands around 25–40cm tall, with potential for strong growth once planted.
At maturity, it will reach an approximate height of 60cm to 1 metre, with a similar spread of up to 1 metre, forming a dense and neat dome-shaped shrub.
Its compact size and slow growth rate make it well-suited to smaller gardens, patios, or shaded borders where space may be limited but year-round interest is desired. It also performs well in decorative containers and woodland-style planting schemes.
The plant’s dimensions and pot size make it easy to handle and ideal for immediate placement in your garden. With minimal pruning required and hardy performance, this shrub is a dependable and decorative choice for both beginner and experienced gardeners alike.
