Our Winter Plants . We are currently offering a range of plants in the run up to christmas including the ever popular Christmas Box (Sarcococca). This is a beautiful plant with small, delicate flowers with a huge aroma. Absolutely delightful. Shipped in same pots as the Lavender plants, this is obviously an outdoor plant. Positioned by a front or back door, the recipient will enjoy the scent everytime they walk past it.

 

Christmas Box (Sarcococca confusa ). Originally from China and the Himalayas, it has slightly rippled leaves, but most importantly wonderfully strong scent when its in flower between December and early spring.

As a gift you don't need to worry about it being difficult to keep. Its fully hardy, and likes a well drain and moist soil. Its eventual height is around 150cm with a spread of 200cm so it wont take over the garden!

We start shipping these just before their flowering season in October.
