That looks a lovely healthy plant. Where was it growing? I have tried growing it twice, it doesn't seem to like our garden, shame.

Thanks for that Silver surfer. I did originally have one in a pot by the back door. It was lovely for a while, but outgrew it's pot. That's where it all went wrong. I planted it in what I thought was a good spot, but it sulked for a year, losing it's new leaves and shuddering to a halt growth wise.
I thought it might have been too dry so I moved it to the new garden - still nothing. But I note you said that you had trouble with S. humilis - that's the one I have.
Funny, but I was in a garden centre today and bought a lovely viburnum. Right alongside it was a sarcococca, not sure what sort, but different to mine. I might see if it is still there next week. It did smell lovely.
