Grow a truly special winter-flowering plant with Chimonanthus praecox, commonly known as Wintersweet. This elegant deciduous shrub or small tree is treasured for its waxy pale yellow flowers, often marked with purple centers, and its strong, sweet fragrance that blooms in the depths of winter when little else is flowering.
Wintersweet is highly valued in ornamental gardens, courtyards, Asian-inspired landscapes, and collector plantings. The flowers appear on bare branches from late winter to early spring, creating dramatic seasonal interest and filling the air with perfume. Once established, plants are long-lived and become more beautiful with age.
You will receive:
✔️ 10 fresh, viable seeds
✔️ Open-pollinated, non-GMO
✔️ Carefully packaged for successful planting
