Sweetshrub
Calycanthus floridus
Aptly named, Sweetshrub features fragrant, reddish-brown flowers with a unique, spicy scent that blooms in late spring. Its attractive foliage and aromatic blooms make it a standout shrub in the garden, and it’s also known for its adaptability to different soil conditions and moderate deer resistance.
Note: Sweetshrub may spread vigorously from the roots to make a small colony.
