Main asset

Evergreen foliage, good resistance to drought, and especially powerful perfume in winter. To plant on the north side near the house.

Remarks

The white winter bloom is followed by small red berries. Cut the damaged branches in late winter.

Small underwood shrub with very fragrant winter blossoming. Very solid and maintenance-free, it easily tolerates the competition of trees or shrubs. Leaves broader and lighter than S. confusa, longer bloom from winter to early spring.
