About this seed
Why gardeners choose this variety
Wintersweet brings fragrance to the quietest part of the gardening year. Small, waxy-looking yellow flowers appear on bare branches in winter, making their shape and scent especially noticeable. In leaf, the shrub provides a fuller green presence before returning to its winter display.
Origins and character
Native to China, Chimonanthus praecox takes its botanical name from words referring to winter flowers and early blooming. Its identity is closely tied to that unusual flowering season, when a few blossoms can transform the experience of a garden.
In your home or garden
Plant it where the winter fragrance can be enjoyed: beside an entrance, near a garden seat or along a sheltered path. A simple wall behind the branches helps the pale flowers stand out.
Seed pack options
