Christmas Box Collection

This Christmas Box Collection has been carefully selected to include three delightful, glossy evergreen shrubs which complement each other to create a lovely blend of fragrance and colour.

Sarcococca hookeriana var digyna - Pink Sweet Box (6-8cm tall)

The Pink Sweet Box is a fairly low growing evergreen shrub that will reach a maximum height of 60-80cm making it a perfect addition to your patio pots. The flowers have a strong honey-like fragrance which carries some distance making it brighten up the drab days of Winter. Between December and February, it produces masses of delicate pink tinged flowers and its blue fruits are showy from November. 

 Sarcococca confusa - White Christmas Box (6-8cm tall)

A lovely evergreen shrub with dark green leaves (also known as the Sweet Box). This plant produces delicate flowers between December and February that have a powerful honey-like fragrance.  It is easy to grow due to a number of factors; they are somewhat drought tolerant, fairly low growing at 60cm and they even make good shrubs for patio pots where the fragrance can be enjoyed. They are also superb as specimen plants, ground cover or low hedges when established (they can be pruned).

Sarcococca ruscifolia – Fragrant Sweet Box (6-8cm tall)

Sarcococca ruscifolia originates from China. The Fragrant Sweet Box is a fairly low growing evergreen shrub that will reach a maximum height of 2m making it a perfect addition to your patio pots. Masses of creamy-white flowers bloom between late December through to early February and have a strong honey-like fragrance which carries some distance, brightening up the drab days of winter.  Showy, spherical red berries decorate the shrub from November and remain on it all winter
