Detailed Selling Lead Description
Winter Sweet (Chimonanthus) - C. fragrant is a lovely shrub, which in England enjoys a wall, flowers in December and January, of delicious fragrance; brownish-yellow, marked with purple inside; and precious for gathering for the house. The best variety is grand flora, its flowers being longer and more open, but the shrub varies a little from seed. It does best on a wall with a southern or western aspect. A few shoots with blooms upon them placed in a room last a long time, and diffuse their pleasant fragrance. In light or warm soils in the south it thrives as a bush, needing no pruning or other care; best on a sunny bank. On walls, moderate pruning is needed, mainly shortening rampant shoots and removing weak wood. Layers and seed. Japan.
