Wintersweet (Chimonanthus praecox)

Wintersweet is a deciduous shrub known for its delightful, fragrant yellow to pale yellow flowers that bloom in winter, often when few other plants are in flower. Growing up to 3-4 m tall, it thrives in full sun to partial shade and well-drained soils. This shrub features lance-shaped green leaves that turn yellow in autumn, providing year-round interest. Plant in autumn or early spring, and ensure it has ample space to grow. Wintersweet is perfect for adding a touch of early-season colour and a pleasant fragrance to your garden.
