This shrub is deciduous so it will lose all its leaves in autumn, then fresh new foliage appears again each spring.
"A useful shrub grown by the back door or under a window to appreciate the light spicy winter scent"

Splendid plant of good size. I am looking forward to seeing it develop over the years.

Two years now, and no noticeable progress. I have read that Wintersweet can take many years, so I'm not sure it was the best choice for a small garden. Perhaps it will be worth it in the end.

waiting for it to flower this year, looks ok at the moment, but living in hope that it will live up to expectations

Hello there This plant flowers on bare stems through the winter then the leaves appear, so soon it should start to shoot, but you probably won't have any flowers for a few years yet. Hope this helps

Hello Terry, If you click on the following link it will take you to all our winter flowering climbers - of which the Jasminum is tougher and more like a shrub. http://www.crocus.co.uk/plants/_/climbers/plcid.15/vid.204/ Alternatively, this link will take you to all our winter flowering shrubs. http://www.crocus.co.uk/plants/_/shrubs/plcid.1/vid.204/ I hope this helps.

Dear Helen, Many thanks, I did think that now I have seen flowers on bare stems!! Lizzie

Hello Lizzie, These deciduous shrubs produce their flowers on bare branches throughout the winter months, so it is normal for them to be losing their leaves at this time of the year. All you need to do is plant it out if it isn't already and make sure it is kept watered if we don't get any rain. I hope this helps. Helen Plant Doctor

Hello Bernadette, I'm afraid we do not sell Sacrocococca hookeriana var. humilis, but the other two we list will be fine in a large pot as long as they are kept well fed and watered. It is my experience that most plants will cope if the pot is big enough and they are well looked after, however larger plants like the Jasminum nudiflorum, Wintersweet, Witchhazel, Abelia or Nandinas will eventually run out of steam and need to be placed into the garden. You should however be able to get a good few years from them. As for the Myrtus, I have not heard that they particularly dislike being moved, but as they are not fully hardy they need protection in winter. I hope this helps. Helen Plant Doctor

The garden is at its most dormant right now, so it’s a good time to catch up on any pruning missed or forgotten since the autumn. If the weather isn’t favourable, you can leave it for a week or two, but make sure all winter pruning is completed before the

The subtly-toned wintersweet Chimonanthus praecox is one of the most useful winter shrubs, producing almost translucent antique-yellow flowers warmed by a dash of blood-red. However this shrub needs a great deal of space and good light, taking up a 2m spr
