Flowering Months

Sarcococca hookeriana var. digyna 'Purple Stem' is a handsome evergreen shrub with a suckering, spreading habit. Over time it will form a dense thicket of stems which are deep purple when young, gradually fading with maturity. The glossy green foliage forms an ideal backdrop for the spidery pink-tinged flowers which appear in late winter, releasing an irresistible perfume on the chilled winter air. The blooms are later replaced by glossy, blue-black berries. Perfect for creating an informal screen or adding evergreen structure to mixed borders. Height: 1.5m (59"). Spread: 2m (78").

Plant height and spread is seasonal therefore we list by pot size rather than a defined plant size. The height and spread of the plant delivered will vary depending on the season, meaning arrival images are an indication only.

How to Grow

Grow sarcococca in any moist, well drained garden soil in a sheltered position, in semi-shade or shade. Christmas box will tolerate full sun provided that the soil remains moist. Alternatively grow sarcococca plants in patio containers using soil based compost such as John Innes No.3.

More Info

Feed and water regularly until young shrubs become established. Once established, Sarcococca will require little attention and often thrives on neglect. Pruning is not required other than to shape the plant if required, and to remove and unwanted suckers from the base of the plant.
