I have some Wintersweet Shrub seeds (Chimonanthus Preacox) from last summer. I have had this shrub for about 7-8 years. It was about 12" tall when I got it--grown from seed. Took about 4 more years before it bloomed. It is a L-O-N-G wait!

This year there won't be too many seeds to gather. We had this weird warm winter (January) when all kinds of blooms popped out too early. Fruit trees, Cherry Trees and Magnolias, and then a lot of cold weather and frost later that killed all the flowers.

Please D-mail me if you are interested. These seeds are very large. About the size of a black oiler sunflower seed.
