Promoting its parent’s choicest qualities, this handsome Sarcococca humilis and Sarcococca hookeriana hybrid was masterminded by esteemed plant breeder Peter Moore from Hillier Nursery. Clustered cardinal-colored buds, prolific sweetly scented white blooms and spherical red berries are cozied amid close-knit low-lying stems with larger-than-average polished dark green leaves. An indispensable evergreen for the winter garden that abides shade and periodic dry soil, ‘Winter Gem’s resilient habit can be featured in containers, planted as a gleaming ground cover or clipped into a small easy-care hedge.
