Common Name: Wintersweet
Chimonanthus praecox is also known as wintersweet. It’s the perfect name for a shrub with deliciously scented flowers that appear in January and February. The small, pale yellow, waxy blooms appear on bare stems and might appear insignificant.
| Soil: | Moist/Well drained |
| Aspect: | Full sun |
| Max Height: | 2.5m - 4m |
| Extra Info: | It’s also worth considering that in summer, the foliage of chimonanthus is definitely not its best feature, so it might benefit from being next to a showy climber or shrub. It’s a good shrub to plant near a doorway or by a path, to catch the delicious scent as you pass. |
| Type: | Evergreen or Deciduous |
| Toxicity: | The seeds are toxic, and contain the alkaloid Calycanthine. Toxic to humans and pets if ingested |
