Sarcococca ruscifolia (Corsican Sweet Box) is a compact, evergreen shrub valued for its glossy dark green foliage and intensely fragrant white flowers that appear in winter. The blooms are small but highly scented, filling the garden with a sweet perfume during the colder months.
Hardy and low maintenance, it thrives in shade to partial shade and prefers well-drained soil. It typically reaches a mature height of around 1–1.5 metres, making it ideal for shaded borders, underplanting, or low hedging.
