Scented Winter Flowering Shrubs

Scented Winter Flowering Shrubs

Bring some cheer to the winter garden with scented winter-flowering Witch Hazel and Sarcococca.

Lovely, hardy evergreen Sarcococcas have a beautiful, sweet almost honey-like scent. They flower in the gloomy winter and grow happily in a wide range of conditions. Flowers are tiny-cream coloured and perfect to cheer up a dull corner. Also known as Sweet Box.

Hamamelis or Witch Hazel is also a winter-flowering shrub, with a wonderful fresh fragrance and spidery flowers in shades of yellow, orange and red making it ideal for bringing some much-needed colour to the winter garden.
