Prized for its attractive and sweetly scented winter blooms, Chimonanthus praecox 'Grandiflorus' (Wintersweet) is a vigorous, medium-sized, deciduous shrub that adds beauty and fragrance to the garden when most plants lie dormant. In mid-late winter, a profusion of small, highly fragrant, bowl-shaped, waxy butter-yellow flowers with purple centers, appear on the naked branches. They may last until early spring, depending on the winter temperatures.

Bushy, this upright, vase-shaped flowering shrub has a slightly arching habit and sports shiny lanceolate, dark green leaves which turn yellow in fall. One of the finest plants that the winter garden can offer! This shrub will usually take a few years to start to flower, but it is worth the wait.
