Calycanthus (Sweetshrub)

Calycanthus, commonly known as Sweetshrub or Carolina Allspice, is a delightful deciduous shrub prized for its fragrant, spiced-scented flowers and lush, green foliage. The large, deep red to burgundy blooms, which appear in late spring to early summer, have a unique, almost magnolia-like appearance and emit a rich, fruity fragrance, making Calycanthus a favorite for sensory gardens and borders. The glossy, oval leaves provide a beautiful contrast to the striking flowers and turn yellow in the fall, adding seasonal interest to the landscape. Calycanthus thrives in full sun to partial shade and well-drained soil, making it an easy-care shrub for a variety of garden settings. Its drought tolerance and deer resistance further enhance its appeal as a low-maintenance addition to any garden.
