Wintersweet
Chimonanthus praecoxWhen all is quiet in the garden a magical scent may reach you from this rather shy unpretentious shrub. Yellow-topaz flowers nod on its bare branches in July. The perfume is enough to make you long for winter. Wintersweet then clothes itself in mid-green leaves to blend unobtrusively back into the garden.

Wintersweet
Flowering early in the season on bare branches, these winter flowers are prized not only in the garden, but also in a vase where just one sprig of these flowers will scent a huge room in winter.
Easy to grow, plant in a well-drained soil in full sun. Protect from snail damage when young. Prune to shape as required.
