China. Much of the year, this upright, big shrub or small deciduous tree fades into the background once the floral show begins in the garden. Yes, it does have attractive lance-shaped leaves that do turn yellow in the autumn. But it is the fragrant waxy flowers that appear in the winter that are the big attraction. They are soft yellow, accented with a splash of brown within. They open at a time of year when we need the uplift that the bare-branched flowers of Chimonanthus praecox offer. Winter. 12 ft. x 10 ft. Yellow flowers Sun, Part Shade Zones 7, 8, 9 |
