Sarcococca hookeriana ‘Purple Gem’

Rich, glossy leaves and dark-red stems show off these white purple-tipped flowers. Although small, they have a pwerful, jasmine-like scent, blooming in late winter and continuing to provide interest as they develop into purple-black berries in summer. Unsually for a sarcococca, it is very bushy and is suitable for creating a small hedge, or for underplanting.
