10 Seeds Fragrant Wintersweet Chimonanthus praecox

Fragrant Wintersweet (Chimonanthus praecox) is a deciduous shrub known for its sweetly scented, pale yellow flowers that bloom in late winter on bare stems, adding rare seasonal interest when little else is flowering.
In the garden it works well as a specimen shrub, in mixed borders, or near entryways and paths where its fragrance can be appreciated; it grows into a rounded, upright habit over time and is valued for its winter bloom and easy-going nature in suitable climates.
