Wintersweet has beautiful, sweetly scented, yellow flowers throughout the winter months. Ideal for a sunny, well-drained mixed or winter border, make sure you place it somewhere its scent will be appreciated.

They also make for a pretty and sweet smelling indoor display.

Customers who select a Chimonanthus should enter the code wintersweet at the checkout and the £5 discount will apply.

Country Life is unlike any other magazine: the only glossy weekly on the newsstand and the only magazine that has been guest-edited by HRH The King not once, but twice. It is a celebration of modern rural life and all its diverse joys and pleasures — that was first published in Queen Victoria's Diamond Jubilee year. Our eclectic mixture of witty and informative content — from the most up-to-date property news and commentary and a coveted glimpse inside some of the UK's best houses and gardens, to gardening, the arts and interior design, written by experts in their field — still cannot be found in print or online, anywhere else.
