Calycanthus floridus – Carolina Allspice
Highly fragrant burgundy flowers dot Carolina Allspice, Calycanthus floridus, in spring and summer. Large oval-shaped leaves form into a dense rounded shrub that turns a pretty yellow in fall. It is also known as the Strawberry bush, as the flower scent resembles strawberries, bananas, and pineapples.
It was chosen as a Missouri Botanical Garden Plant of merit for its outstanding ornamental value and ability to thrive in the St. Louis area.
Tolerant of a wide range of soils, including consistently wet, Carolina Allspice thrives just about anywhere so long as it gets sun to part shade. Prune immediately after flowers to maintain smaller sizes.
