Soft-pink, cup-shaped blooms with delicate, golden-topped anthers and a subtle scent can appear from December until April. ‘Winter Perfume Pink’, a long-flowering, evergreen shrub, is perfect for a sheltered, partially shady spot in the garden and offers a welcome boost to the senses in mid-winter. - Garden care: To prevent damage to the emerging buds and flowers protect from cold, dry winds and early morning sun. Water established plants in dry weather to prevent bud drop. Apply a balanced liquid fertiliser in mid-spring and again in June. Top-dress annually with shredded bark or well-rotted leaf mould. After flowering lightly trim or prune any branches that spoil the appearance of the plant.
