More Details

Wintersweet is an absolute favourite because it smells more delicious and uplifting than any other flower at any time of year, and, on top of that, finding such a gem in your garden in January is quite extraordinary. The bush is discreetly nondescript, hardy and so easy to grow, so try to find room for this if you have the space.

Sowing, Seeds, Planting Chimonanthus praecox are best positioned in a warm, sheltered spot, in full sun. It’s a good shrub to plant near a doorway or by a path, to catch the delicious scent as you pass. It’s also good for training against a warm, south-facing wall. Where the extra heat generated will help ripen new growth quicker and increase bud production.
