Description

With late-winter flowers with the most exquisite perfume, this lights up a boring, shady corner, just when we need it most. Pick the flower panicles to scent your bedroom.

The fruits are edible - they have a tart, acidic flavour, which you can add to muesli or porridge. You do get quite a lot of seeds and not much flesh though.

Care Tips

An evergreen shrub that requires minimal attention. Plants can be pruned in spring, after flowering, to manage their shape, if required.
