Sarcococca confusa (sar-ko-KOKE-uh kon-FYOO-suh) Sweet Box Evergreen Shrub 3-5 ft. tall and wide Low Water Full to Part Shade USDA Zones 6 to 9 The foliage of Sweet Box is glossy and dark green, with a little twist to each leaf that adds texture. It has upright, slightly arching branches with a slightly spreading habit, with the overall effect being a dense, bushy shrub. In late winter, a time when there is little to enjoy in the garden, it produces tiny white tubular with a vanilla-like fragrance so sweet as to be intoxicating. Tiny purple-black berries follow the flowers. Sweet box grows best in full to part shade, in humus-rich, fertile soil. Once established, it tolerates dry soil fairly well, as long as it is not in full sun.. Full sun can scorch the leaves. Pruning easily controls its size and shape. It thrives in any shady spot, and makes a great choice for planting under the eaves or any other dark dry location. It should be placed near a walkway or the front entrance where passersby are sure to enjoy its winter fragrance. Sweet box can also be used as a hedge.
