In late winter you will follow your nose to this earliest-blooming shrub to enjoy the sweet, sweet fragrance of the small white flowers - one of the very first harbingers of spring along with Viburnum 'Dawn' and Hamamelis. Glossy, narrow, dark green leaves on arching branches. Happiest in deep to part shade but adaptable to some sun with sufficient water. Birds will raid it for its small, black berries. Plant it near an entrance or beneath a bedroom! Disease-resistant.

Evergreen shrub; mature size: 4 – 5 ft tall and spreading to 4 ft wide,

Minimum temperature: -10° F

Carefully packed for each plant

Once your order is ready, we bring the plants from our greenhouses into a holding area. Each plant is wrapped by hand and, when needed, staked to protect tender stems. Because our inventory is so diverse, we adjust the packing method for each plant based on its size, type, and stage of growth.

We reuse clean paper and plastic packing materials whenever practical. It is easier on the planet and helps keep shipping costs down for you, too.

Choose your Monday ship date

At checkout, choose from the available Monday ship dates. We ship with UPS from Monmouth, Oregon, and you will receive an email with tracking information when your shipment is prepared or enters the UPS system.

Arrival times vary by destination and weather, so we cannot guarantee a specific delivery date or time.
