Winter fragrance
Fine healthy plant which has settled in well and flowered prolifically even as a foot high twig.

This shrub is deciduous so it will lose all its leaves in autumn, then fresh new foliage appears again each spring.

I have this in a large planter and it has just passed the flowering stage. They were glorious flowers an most unusual - a real eye catcher.

Great plant, love the "flimsy" flowers. Original got broken in transit, 2/3 branches very badly damaged, it ended up with only 1 stem (Crocus were very good and quick about replacing it and didn't want the damaged one returned), with a lot of careful pruning and tlc, it survived. I have only given it 4* due to both plants being the same cultivar and labeled as such, but they are different in flower colour, subtle I admit, but one is acid lemon yellow the other is more golden yellow.

These plants tend to do quite well in exposed positions, however you can appreciate the scented flowers much better in a sheltered spot.

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.

Hello Margaret, it is rare to find larger sized Ceanothus as they are usually quite short-lived and don't normally live longer than 6 - 8 years. We do have a selection of larger shrubs on our site like Hamamelis, Hydrangeas, Magnolias, Acer, Cornus, Cotinus, Philadelphus, Syringa and Viburnum, so you may find something of interest. They will be listed in this section. http://www.crocus.co.uk/plants/ I hope this helps. Helen Plant Doctor

Hello Hazel, This plant is fully hardy so won't be affected by the cold weather. Ideally it should come out of its pots as soon as possible, but you can keep it in its pot until next spring as long as you make sure it is kept well watered. 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
