This week, we take a look at Winter Box (Sarcococca), an evergreen beauty with a big scent. 🌿What’s in a Name? - The name 'Sarcococca' comes from the Greek words sarkos (flesh) and kokkos (berry), referring to its fleshy, jewel-like berries. 🌿The Hidden Wonder - Flowering between December and March, Winter Box is known as the plant you smell before you see. The small, creamy-white flowers of Sarcococca Confusa and Sarcococca Ruscifolia are the most fragrant varieties and fill the chilly winter
