Sarcococca humilis 'Winter Gem' is a small, evergreen shrub that is perfect for shady places. It will not thrive in direct sunlight. In late winter, the plant produces small white flowers on purple-red flower stems. The flowers themselves are not particularly conspicuous, but what is striking is the lovely sweet smell that emanates from the plant and brings a touch of spring to the garden early on in the year. Has few soil requirements. This is an ideal plant for a beautiful pot or basket in a shady spot. It will reach only 60 cm in height and does not require pruning. If you do wish to prune it, do so directly after flowering. Winter hardy when planted out in the garden down to -17°C.
