Sweet Box

Fragrant Mountain Sweet Box (Sarcococca hookeriana var. humilis ‘Fragrant Mountain’) is a must-have evergreen shrub that combines lush, glossy foliage with incredible cold-hardy fragrance. This compact beauty thrives in shaded gardens where many plants struggle, making it a perfect solution for those tricky areas. In late winter to early spring, it produces clusters of small, highly fragrant white flowers, filling the air with a sweet, intoxicating scent when the garden needs it most. Its year-round dark green foliage adds structure and elegance to borders, foundation plantings, and container displays. Low-maintenance and deer-resistant, Fragrant Mountain is a garden gem for both beauty and practicality.
