I've inherited a couple of these Kerry ...the fragrance is divine 👌😍

@flof1952 isn’t it wonderful 😍 always seems to be something to love about this plant, no matter the time of year ☺️

Lovely berries. They add such beauty to the plant. 👍😍😍

@hkyfvr @gjones thank you muchly 🥰 I’m hoping they’ll be a feast for the birds as there are plenty! It’s at the end of the garden that backs on to brambles that are filled with tiny birds at the moment. With any luck they’ll enjoy them 😋

Always welcome. Hope the birds enjoy them 😍

@gjones the fragrance is beautiful 😍 strong too! On a warm day you definitely smell it before you see it! 😋

Still smelling amazing 😍 #sarcococca #sarcococca-confusa #sweet-box #sweet-box-confusa

😍😍😍 Your garden must be filled with fragrance and colour!

@ublaszko more than I thought since I discovered I have another one of these by my greenhouse 😂 I forgot about it 🤣

What's the scent like?

@jeatacake it’s amazing 🤤 now there’s more flowers open I can smell it as I walk past 😋

I really want one! I wish I could get the local market stall to order one to their store 😁😂

Excellent. Better than the daphne?

@ublaszko you’d have it right by your back door so you could enjoy the scent 😋 it packs a punch for a small plant!

@jeatacake the daphne scent is so unusual I think I’d have to pick that 😜

@columbiariver I agree! For year-round colour and winter flowers & fragrance 😋

@columbiariver that’s a great place for it, getting to appreciate the fragrance a lot more when it’s nearer the house. I didn’t realise til today they like shade so might move this to my front door. Yours is bigger than mine already! 😂 and you have the berries too 🖤

They have them dotted along the path I take to work 😍😍

@ublaszko I bet that smells fantastic right now 🤤

It really does. And further down there's an hedge created entirely of mahonia which smells absolutely delicious 💛💛

@kez001uk I love Sweet Box, I have one by my back door and when it’s in flower the fragrance is gorgeous. I can open the door and the fragrance wafts in and I get free air freshener. 😊👍🏼

Jealous! I love the smell! I've been enjoy them outside the university but would love to have one in my garden 😍😍😍

@pixierose they’re great aren’t they 😍 wish I had space by my back door to enjoy the fragrance more but have moved it next to the path so I get a whiff 😛

@ublaszko it’s so nice isn’t it 🤤 should “borrow” a cutting 😉😉

I'm terrible at taking cuttings! 😂 I've taken various cuttings over the years but none of them took 😂

@ublaszko When you take a cutting do you have a heel on it? It’s more likely to take that way. Dip it in some root hormone powder and use a pencil or dibber to make a hole around the edge of a decent size pot and pop in firm and water and put some gravel on the soil top. Then put a plastic bag over the top and hold on with an elastic band and make sure the cutting doesn’t touch the bag. Put somewhere warmish and you should strike some roots. 🤞🏼🙏🏼😊

@kez001uk The fragrance is amazing. Next to the path will be nice cause you’ll get a nice whiff when you walk past. 😊👍🏼

Yes, I've tried that but no luck. They don't seem to grow roots and rot away instead. I think maybe I need to add more grit next time @pixierose

@ublaszko same! Had success with 1 fuchsia but then my greenhouse blew down and it died. I think the 2 must be linked somehow 🤣🤣🤣

😂😂😂

So many buds 🤩 #sarcococca #sarcococca-confusa #sweet-box #sweet-box-confusa

That's going to smell divine 😍

These are lovely aren't they, the scent is gorgeous. Mine's got berries too which is a nice surprise 🙂

Lovely- are they slow growing?

The smell is fantastic!💘😍

Oh I have a little one that @awomanonabike sent me I must check on it....👍🏼

So I did! I hope it flowers for you Elaine 😊@wagsmomthompsonbtinternetcom

@awomanonabike It has tiny flowers on Jacqueline....I’ll show you when they open....👍🏼

@pelly can’t wait to get a whiff again 😋😅

@lilybee gorgeous! The flowers are so cute too 😍 oh I didn’t know they had berries 😯

@sharonhayden thank you Sharon 😀 I had this one just over a year and it’s grown a fair bit! It’s more than doubled 😛

@ShelleySnyder oh it is 😍 need to move it to somewhere I walk past though, or I miss it 😂

Only just noticed this flowering. And the scent is 😍

@debrascott it really is gorgeous 😋 I didn’t expect it to flower since I only bought it as a tiny plant a couple of months back. But it’s full of flower. Think I’ll be moving it near the front door once it’s bigger, to appreciate that scent much more!

@debrascott it’s too good a smell to waste 😋

@columbiariver quite excited to see this one progress 😁

@columbiariver you’re so right! And this time of year it’s nice to enjoy the few things that are left in the garden 😊

@columbiariver I think this is scented too when it flowers. Don’t think I’ll get to see it this year 😂 seen a few sweet box on here recently and it has cute little flowers 😍
