Sarcococca Hookeriana Var. Humilis

Sarcococca Humilis (Sweet Box) flowering in our Aberdeen garden in February.
(Sarcococca Hookeriana Var. Humilis) is well worthy of consideration for your garden. Well it doesn’t exactly jump out at you but hey any plant which flowers in the month of February has to be a gardeners friend.
To be quite honest, this shrub has been in the main border of the back garden for a number of years and I had never paid much attention to it. Well not until the delightful Edith Hope, a lady with the charm of a bygone age did sing its praises when I at one time mentioned said plant.
Whatever you do don’t place it in the middle of the border where it is difficult to gain access. Plant it near the path edge where you can admire the tiny blooms and if your senses are more attuned than mine you can take in the unexpected fragrance on a Winters day.
Although this evergreen shrub will grow well enough in a sunny position it will also thrive in the most dense of shade. The only other evergreen shrub to my knowledge which grows as well in such shade is the Aucuba,(Spotted Laurel).
Sarcococca from Western China has dark green glossy leaves and small white beautifully fragrant flowers, which have pink tips whilst in bud. The flowers start to open in some areas of the UK from December and continue through till March, followed by small black fruits. Well here in Aberdeen expect to first see the blooms in February, to be quite honest I would be surprised to see them in bloom in the month of December anywhere in the UK.

16 Different Palm Tree Varieties For Every Type Of Landscape
Palm trees are cherished for the tropical flair they add to any setting, but with so many palm tree types available, it can be hard to choose the right one for the landscape. When selecting palm trees for your garden consider function as well as environment. Some palm trees are well suited to planting as a specimen or accent, while others perform better along the edges of the landscape. Though we think of palms as sun-loving tropical plants, some have surprising cold or shade tolerance, expanding their range of use. We’ve helped simplify the selection process by organizing the different palm tree types into categories based on performance and visual characteristics.
