But what is its name.   Had to call in at a house yesterday, where there was a shrub beside the front door.  North Facing, no sun at all.  small white fluffy flowers with the most amazing sent.  The owner told me the name which began with an S.  I couldn't hear what was said.   Can you tell me what it might be.  Thanks, Mrs Bouquet

Sarcococca seems the most likely if it began with an S

I'd agree with that, Yorkie.  I have a couple in my garden and the scent is beautiful.

Thanks peeps.  Yes that was the name.  Although I am deaf, he also has a big full moustache that grows down over his mouth.
I am going to read about this shrub and see if it is suitable for my garden.  Thanks again, cheers.  Mrs B

There are two types, Mrs B.  One is hookeriana and the other is, I think humilis, there may be more but I have one of each of these and the scent from either one is beautiful
