Chimonanthus Praecox - Wintersweet Calycanthus - LARGE

Chimonanthus Praecox is a delightful, deciduous shrub. 'Wintersweet' is unusual in the fact that, like it's name suggests, actually flowers during Winter and produces very small, sweetly scented flowers. The sulphur-yellow blooms are stained with purple and sit atop bare stems, creating a very attractive display during the Winter months. It does take a few years for this plant to flower as it becomes established and more mature, but it is well worth the wait! Ideal for a mixed/winter border. Plant in well-drained, moist soil and Chimonanthus tends to thrive in a position of full sun. Often used as cut flowers for the home, as the elegant bare stems bearing these fragrant blooms are ideal.

Strong plants supplied in approx 10 litre containers.
