Sarcococca
Is it me?
Scent is one of my main interests in the garden, and especially winter scent. My all time favourite plant is my 7 year old Daphne bholua 'Darjeeling' now 6ft high by 4 ft spread which I can smell from 20 yards even when its minus 6 outside. Its been flowering its socks off for six weeks now. But Sarcocca? I find the smell absolutely obnoxious. To me it smells like a plastic bottle that has been left on a red hot hob. BTW have tried for several years to grow Lonicera fragrantissima and L. purpusii. The bushes grow to 4ft x 4ft, but have a pathetic number of flowers, and I'll probably give up and throw them away. --- Outgoing mail is certified Virus Free.
