Sarcococca WINTER GEM (PBR) is an evergreen shrub grown for its rich winter fragrance and neat, dependable form. During the colder months, small, pale flowers appear along the stems, releasing a powerful, sweet scent that carries well in still winter air. The glossy dark green foliage provides year-round structure and remains attractive even in deep shade, making the plant valuable outside its flowering period. Naturally compact and slow growing, this variety fits easily into shaded borders, beneath trees, or near entrances where its scent can be appreciated up close. Tough, understated, and highly reliable, WINTER GEM brings interest and fragrance to the garden at a time when few other shrubs are in flower.
