FRAGRANT FEBRUARY IN THE SAVILL GARDEN, WINDSOR GREAT PARK
3 February 2010
Fragrance is abundant in many areas of The Savill Garden during the month of February. Explore the garden and enjoy wave after wave of sweet fragrance. The Garden’s many witch hazels offer a wide variety of colour and are probably the hardiest of all winter flowering shrubs, many have the most delightful of fragrances and Hamamelis ‘Pallida’ with its lemon yellow flowers is probably the most popular.
Harvey Stephens, Head of The Savill Garden, commented: “Discovering pockets of perfume in the garden through the winter months can be a magical and unexpected bonus. Through The Savill Garden we have a wonderful and increasing array of scented plants to surprise and raise the spirits after a long and cold winter. Visitors to the garden will find plenty of colourful planting combinations and lots of fragrances particularly through the new winter interest beds. My top five fragrances for February are the witch hazels; Christmas box; winter flowering Daphnes; paper white daffodils and the winter flowering honeysuckle.
The extra warmth in the Queen Elizabeth Temperate House intensifies the heady fragrances of hyacinths and drifts of paper white daffodils that greet visitors. The carpets of white cyclamen offer a more subtle and delicate scent. There’s lots of interest through the house with early flowering camellias and some interesting Mahonia collections.
