Plant Description

Calycanthus praecox, commonly known as wintersweet, is a deciduous shrub renowned for its fragrant winter flowers. This plant reaches a height of 6-10 feet with an equal spread, forming a dense, rounded shape. Its flowers bloom in late winter to early spring, offering a delightful yellow color with a hint of purple at the center. The leaves are ovate and bright green in summer, turning golden yellow in autumn. The bark is smooth and brown, adding texture to the winter landscape.
