Calycanthus Floridus commonly known as Carolina Allspice is a lovely, bushy, deciduous shrub which has oval shaped dark green, broad leaves, which in autumn time turn a striking, golden yellow colour. In June and July the Calycanthus Floridus will bloom these dark red/pink flowers which are made up of almost upright strap like petals, known to be highly fragrant and a firm favourite for areas of the garden where visitors can admire.
Often planted against walls, and trellises where the Calycanthus is known to sometimes have a slight suckering habit, covering a normally dull area of the garden, further suiting many other locations, planting schemes and garden types, makes for a good all round garden plant.
