Key Features

  • Abundant sweetly fragrant pale yellow flowers
  • Blooms on bare branches in depths of winter
  • Outstanding golden-yellow autumn colour
  • Spreading elegant habit
  • Fully hardy and reliable

Perfect For

Exceptional as a specimen shrub in mixed borders, woodland gardens, or positioned near seating areas and pathways where the winter fragrance can be fully appreciated. Perfect for adding scent and colour in the quietest months.

Growing Tips

Plant in moist, well-drained, slightly acidic to neutral soil in sun or partial shade; shelter from cold winds. Mulch generously with organic matter. Minimal pruning required; remove only damaged wood after flowering. Water during dry periods, particularly when young. Avoid root disturbance once established.
