The best variety of this amazingly fragrant genus bred by the highly acclaimed British breeder Peter Moore. Combining the best qualities from both its parents, ' Winter Gem' produces larger than average dark, glossy, green leaves that emerge from the violet stems which during winter also hold a mass of the very attractive & highly fragrant flowers which fill the surrounding air with perfume. These are followed by glossy red berries which ripen to black over time. Easy to grow. Flowers late December-early March. Height 100-150cm. Supplied in a 2-3 litre pot.
