Cultivation
Drimys winteri is grown in cool moist climates as an ornamental plant for its red-brown bark, bright green fragrant leaves and its clusters of creamy white jasmine-scented flowers.
The species grows well in southern Britain, flourishing as far north as Anglesey. Specimens brought from the southern forests of Tierra del Fuego and planted in the Faroe Islands have proven to be especially hardy. A fine specimen is found in Northumberland.
This plant has gained the Royal Horticultural Society's Award of Garden Merit.
It has been planted in the North Pacific Coast of the United States.
