Photo of Chimonanthus praecox (wintersweet)
Chimonanthus praecox - Commonly known as wintersweet or Japanese allspice, is a deciduous shrub that typically grows 10-15’ tall and to 8-12’ wide. Fragrant flowers (to 1” across) bloom in winter (December to January) usually on leafless branches, but sometimes, particularly in warm climates, on branches clad with a few persisting leaves. Each flower has numerous showy tepals which are sulfur yellow to pale yellow with a purplish-brown center. Rough, glossy green, opposite, elliptic-ovate to ovate-lanceolate leaves (to 6” long) emerge in spring after the flowers have bloomed. Leaves turn yellow in fall. Family: Calycanthaceae
