Nursery contributed plant descriptions

From India comes this, a most attractive form of sweet box with all you'd come to expect of Sarcococca; hardiness, fragrance, glossiness, oh my! Rounded evergreen shrub to 5ft. In winter, intensely fragrant racemes of tiny white flowers appear on along the stems. A must have for the shady garden with rich soil and a little summer water. Extremely choice. Frost hardy to -10F, USDA zone 6.
