  • Sarcococca Hookeriana can be found all over our town - in the Memorial garden where there are over 40 plants named after Joseph Hooker; in the planters outside Hooker House and in the planters and beds around the town. They are particularly lovely and fragrant along the large bed in the Memorial Garden. We have taken many cuttings successfully from these plants.
  • Family 
Buxaceae
  • Genus Sarcococca are compact, sometimes suckering evergreen shrubs with simple, leathery leaves and tiny, fragrant creamy-white flowers in winter or spring, followed by red, purple or black berries which may persist into the following winter.
