A super little scented winter treasure 'Wintersweet', as it is commonly called, produces stunning buttery yellow flowers in clusters, each with a lovely burgundy centre and veining detail. Producing a lovely sweet scent on bare stems, they are a joy to behold on cold winter days. An easy and fairly quick grower, it thrives in mixed shrubberies and borders, or larger pots, in sun or light shade, where you can bring them close to the house for maximum fragrance enjoyment. They also make a lovely long-lasting cut stem for the vase also. Supplied as an established plant in a 17cm pot to plant out all year - approx 20cm tall.
Chimonanthus praecox blooms on the darkest of winter days, when most other plants are dormant. An elegant shrub for borders, its wonderfully fragrant, waxy yellow flowers drip from bare woody stems. Chimonanthus praecox can also be grown against a house wall, where its exquisite perfume can be easily appreciated. Height: 4m (12?) Spread: 3m (10?).
