Sweet Box, or Sarcococca confusa, is an evergreen shrub with small, glossy, dark-green leaves that line slender stems in alternating patterns. The plant forms rounded, low mounds of foliage with a dense, tidy appearance. Sarcococca confusa is especially recognized for its fragrant winter flowers, which appear as small, creamy clusters tucked along the stems.
Native to Asia, the shrub thrives in shaded settings, where its rich foliage contrasts well with lighter understory plants. The tight leaf spacing and naturally compact form of Sarcococca confusa give it a polished, understated character within the shrub-like category.
Sweet Box has a typical overall height between 3’-5’ (91-152 cm) and spread diameter of 3’-5’ (91-152 cm).
