This delightfully fragrant hardy shrub, known as the Winter Flower. Should sharp frost set in, protection ought to be given to the flowers. The plant requires a fairly good soil, and is most at home when trained against a wall. It is generally propagated by means of layers.

The chimonanthus fragrans (japan allspice) grows to a height of 6 ft.

It flowers in January, before the leaves appear.
