Sarcococca hookeriana var. humilis
Dwarf sweet box is an upright, compact, evergreen shrub with shiny dark green leaves and a slowly suckering habit. In winter and early spring it produces small, feathery, white flowers with an intense, heady fragrance that will fill the garden. Black fruit follows later in the season. Use as a low informal hedge, as a ground cover or as an evergreen element at your front entrance.
