SWEET SENSATION

-

Winter scent is much more precious than summer scent, as it seems to travel further in the cold air. This is one of the best, so just close your eyes and inhale – it’s like drinking in the sweet breath of Aphrodite or stroking the paws of a particular­ly cute puppy. Make sure that you always plant them close to paths or doorways, as something so precious should never be wasted.

Sarcococca confusa

A good background evergreen in summer. The flowers may be very small but they sure pack a punch. Take semi-ripe cuttings in late summer. HxS 2m x 1m
