Winter smells

The flowers of most of these amazingly, deliciously smelly shrubs look rather insignificant, but in deepest winter they'll waft their fantastic scents around your garden and make you want to rush outdoors and sniff sniff sniff.

Daphne 'Jaqueline Postill'

Winter Honeysuckle (Lonicera Fragrantissima)

Witch hazel (Hamamelis Mollis)

Viburnum Bodnantense 'Dawn'





















Christmas Box (Sarcococca Confusa)

Unless you have the new scratch and sniff app for your iphone I'm afraid you'll have to track down the actual plants to smell what I'm talking about.
