The gloomy weather might mean that there isn’t much to tempt us outside right now, but introducing some winter colour and fragrance into the garden with sweet-smelling winter-flowering shrubs can be a great way of lifting the spirits (as well as brightening up the garden), and it’s never too early to get started.
There are plenty of varieties of sweet-smelling winter-flowering shrubs to choose from. While they may not be as vibrant and blowsy as summer-flowering blooms, the fragrance can still be as intoxicating, as it’s this that the plants rely upon to attract bees and other pollinators to the garden over the winter months.
