Sarcococca ruscifolia

 

An elegant evergreen shrub that thrives where conventional plants struggle, Fragrant Sweetbox excels in southern, arid shade conditions. Its lustrous foliage maintains year-round visual interest, while delicate white flowers emerge in early spring with a subtle, pleasing fragrance. This species exhibits a fascinating botanical trait—polyembryony—producing multiple embryos per seed, a natural genetic phenomenon. Its cascading growth habit and refined appearance make it an ideal solution for challenging shaded landscapes where few alternatives perform reliably.
