Chimonathus Praecox

Fragrant Blooming Wintersweet

Zones 6-9

Chimonanthus praecox, or wintersweet, is a deciduous shrub native to China, known for its extremely fragrant, waxy, pale yellow flowers that bloom in late winter. It thrives in well-drained soil with full sun to partial shade, providing winter interest to gardens. Over 10 years, it typically grows 6–13 ft tall and wide, with a slow to moderate growth rate. It gradually becomes a rounded shrub, and regular pruning can help maintain its shape and encourage stronger blooms.
