The Hardy Sarcococcas
From LoveToKnow Garden
The Hardy Sarcococcas (Sarcococca) - Are neat and pleasing evergreen shrubs possessed of but a modest flower beauty, though of more than ordinary value, because of their suitability to shaded positions and their rich green lustrous foliage. They are also of high utility for cutting, lasting long and well in the house where their refreshing shining green is ever welcome. The most notable are S. humilis, of neat tufted habit, 1 1/2 feet high, flowers white, fragrant, succeeded by blue-black fruits. S. ruscifolia is 2 feet or more high, of dark lustrous green, flowers milk-white, fragrant, and vieing with the Alexandrian Laurel for its utility in the cut state. The special value, however, is because of their success when planted under trees where so few plants thrive. They grow from the base after the style of the Butchers Broom. Readily increased. China.
