Shrubs to delight eyes and nose in winter

Nothing is quite as captivating as fragrant flowering shrubs adorning our wintertime landscapes. Unfortunately, most choice shrubs go unnoticed. We are familiar with the blowzy, yet scentless, blooms of Camellia japonica and the screaming yellow bells of forsythia but often forget that other evergreen and deciduous shrubs offer delightfully aromatic and interesting flowers. This winter, why not rediscover shrubs that are visually gorgeous and olfactorily stimulating. You might even want to include them in your landscape.
