About this seed

Why gardeners choose this variety

Wintersweet changes the usual order of a garden season by producing scented, waxy-looking flowers on a leafless woody framework. Chimonanthus praecox is native to China and has long been appreciated as a shrub that offers interest during the quieter months. Its attraction comes from timing and close observation as much as flower size.

Grow it as a lasting shrub for a position that can be visited in winter. The leaves and branching provide a different character during the growing season, while seedlings may take many years to flower. Do not judge the project only by its first season or expect an exact named cultivar from seed. Allow enough space for mature branches and a clear view of the eventual winter display.
