Garden Winter Sweet Jo Arnell warms up the winter garden with fragranced seasonal blooms flower power There is not much that flowers at the bleak dark start of the year. What blossom there is tends to be small and weather resistant. Flowers hang their shy heads or modestly tuck themselves behind evergreen leaves. Some are so small that they’re almost invisible – walk too fast and you might not notice them at all. What you will notice though, is their scent. Many winter flowers make up for their lack of colour and size with powerful fragrances – designed to attract pollinating insects. Sadly for the plants, most of the insects have either died, or are waiting out the winter, as larvae, or in stasis as adults – hiding in log piles, garden sheds and the gaps in our window panes. Because there are so few of them around, the plants have to compete for their attention. Just as we are drawn by the scent of a bacon sandwich or freshly baked cake, any insects that are still out and about are lured by the promise of nectar wrapped up in a fragrant flower. deciduous shrubs Many of the early flowers appear on bare stems, long before any leaves start to grow. Once the leaves do appear these shrubs revert to being straggly nothings, but right now they are the stars of the show. Winter Sweet (Chimonanthus praecox) is one of these humble bushes, with small cream coloured flowers perfumed with hints of citrus. Lonicera ‘Winter Beauty’ is a winter flowering shrubby honeysuckle that produces masses of sweetly scented flowers in January and February. It is the scent that is beautiful, not the bush. Viburnum x bodnantense ‘Deben’ is better behaved with small pink buds opening to become highly fragrant white flowers. These shrubs are well suited to a path-side position, but they need to be able to bow out and retreat into the background once they come into leaf. If you have the space for a specimen, try a Witch Hazel: Hamamelis x intermedia ‘Pallida’ has scented flowers that climb its bare branches like little yellow spiders. It also has good autumn foliage, which helps to redeem the other eight months of dull green leaf. Grow it as a specimen, as it eventually gets quite large. A delicate climber for a sunny, sheltered position is Clematis cirrhosa var. balearica. Each cream coloured bell is speckled reddish brown, and the citrus scent is released on sunny winter days. evergreens Daphnes are the ultimate winter plant. Many are beautiful, evergreen and highly scented. Daphne odora ‘Aureomarginata’ is one of the earliest. It is slow growing with variegated evergreen foliage, but has a really intense and sweet, Jasmine-like fragrance. Daphnes do need to be grown in exactly the right conditions in order to thrive. Not too wet, not too cold, not too exposed. Imagine inviting the plant version of Goldilocks into your garden… For most of the year Mahonia japonica is a large, dull and prickly evergreen, but in the depths of winter its thick stems are topped by impressive yellow flower spikes that brighten the darkest of days and smell of lily-of-the-valley. Mahonia x media ‘Charity’ is one of the biggest and boldest to grow. If you are looking to impress with scent rather than size, try the hard to pronounce (and spell) Sarcococca confusa, which luckily also goes by the easier name of Christmas Box. It is not an exciting plant to look at – in fact most people don’t notice it at all, so I tend to plant it behind something unscented but good looking. The problem with this is that the plant in front often takes all the credit for the amazing fragrance of the unremarkable looking Sarcococca. I’ve taken to calling it the ‘Cyrano de Bergerac’ plant. fragrant foliage You might need to brush past a plant with aromatic leaves in order to enjoy their scent, or even cut some to bring inside and add to winter arrangements. The fragrance is usually held within the concentrated sap, rather than flowers. We are all familiar 125 surrey-homes.co.uk
