Description
Sweet Box ‘Fragrant Valley’ is a compact evergreen shrub prized for its glossy foliage and wonderfully fragrant blooms. In late winter to early spring, small white flowers with pink tips appear along the stems, filling the garden with a sweet scent when little else is in bloom. Its deep green leaves provide year-round structure, making it an excellent choice for shaded areas.
After flowering, this variety produces red berries that mature to black and persist into winter, adding subtle seasonal interest. It thrives in partial to full shade and prefers moist, well-drained, rich soil. With its low, mounding habit, ‘Fragrant Valley’ is perfect for groundcover, borders, or containers, bringing fragrance and evergreen beauty to shaded landscapes.
