Discover the captivating allure of Corylopsis glabrescens, commonly known as Fragrant Winterhazel, a deciduous shrub that transforms your garden into a fragrant oasis. Originating from Japan, this multi-stemmed shrub thrives in USDA Zones 5 to 8, reaching a mature height and spread of 8 to 15 feet. Its enchanting pale yellow flowers bloom in drooping clusters during late winter to early spring, releasing a sweet fragrance that tantalizes the senses. These blooms appear on bare branches, providing a striking contrast and signaling the arrival of warmer days.

Fragrant Winterhazel is easy to cultivate in acidic, organically rich, well-drained soils, performing well in both full sun and part shade. It’s perfect for shrub borders or woodland gardens, offering striking seasonal interest alongside forsythia and witch hazel. With robust, blue-green foliage, it enhances summer landscapes, though its real charm lies in its flower clusters—up to 2 inches long—that fill the air with a delightful fragrance. Low maintenance by nature, it requires only minimal pruning and protection from harsh winds.

Whether as a hedge or centerpiece, Corylopsis glabrescens elevates any landscape with its graceful beauty and intoxicating aroma. Embrace the tranquil beauty of this winter gem and let its sweet scent be a foretaste of spring each year in your garden.
