Calycanthus floridus ~ Sweetshrub, Carolina Allspice Size:3 GALLON The flowers are actually bractsSweetshrub is dense rounded deciduous shrub with aromatic luscious dark green leaves that turn gold in fall. Highly fragrant dark red magnolia like flowers bloom in late spring into summer which give way to fruits that persist into winter. Grows best in full sun and moist, well drained acidic soils. Calycanthus is pollinated by beetles, its flowers do not attract other pollinators as much. However, its seeds are sometimes eaten by small mammals and
