Plant of the Month
Sarcocca confusa is a dense evergreen shrub that has sweet scented flowers in the winter. Although they may not look much the scent is amazing. The sweet honey scent of the plant lingers in the air. Planting a Sarcocca Confusa near your door or by a path that you will walk by in the winter will give you delightful treat. The Sarcocca is also called the Christmas Box but it is not related to the Box family.
This plant will work well as a hedge. It could be an ideal substitue to box if you want a more relaxed hedge that can be easily clipped. The sarcocca confusa can also be a stand alone shrub. It is not a fast growing but will grow to 1.5M. This Plant of the Month does not like full sun. An ideal aspect is North, East or West facing.
When the flowers fade there will be small black berries. These are a great food source for the birds in the winter.
