Start by removing any dead, diseased, or damaged stems. Then, prune any flowered side shoots back by two-thirds and cut old stems down to the base if the plant is overcrowded.


  1. Check Hellebore foliage

Sarcococca confusa is an excellent evergreen shrub that produces highly fragrant white flowers in the winter, followed by black berries. It thrives in shady areas with moist, fertile soil.
