What could be more beautiful in the middle of winter than the unusually shaped flowers, clusters of lemon stars are dotted along the bare stems. But creep closer and the rich sweet perfume will lift the spirits on the coldest days.
A bit boring in the summer you need to plan your planting, Plant it so you can see it from the house or near a path. From January to March it will flower, for the best results grow it against a sheltered wall to offer some protection from the coldest weather.
Allow room for them to grow, eventually, it could be 4 metres high and 3 metres wide but it is very slow growing so this might take 10-15 years
Its well worth cutting a few winter stems to bring the scent of the garden indoors.
very easy to grow, they prefer full sun. They are great at the back of borders, make sure you can see the winter flowers from the house.
They need room to grow and develop. Spend some time to plan the best position and check how much room you need to allow. Slow growing they are not cheap to buy.
