Lovely small evergreen shrub which is fully flowering now, and the scent is really lovely. It grows in shade too, which makes it even more special.

I have that one too bik, and another one...S. ruscifolia...but it is very like confusa, I don't think I can tell them apart....maybe a lighter shade of green. Digyna is. very different and my favourite. They are all treasures though because of the lovely scent, and their tolerance of shade! :)
