Calycanthus floridus

An dense, rounded shrub with a suckering habit. Flowers are fragrant, reddish-brown, and bloom in May. Fragrance varies widely from plant to plant, and is described as fruity with banana, pineapple and strawberry notes. Seed capsules mature in fall and remain through winter. Dark green foliage turns golden in fall. Leaves are fragrant when bruised. Best to purchase this plant when in flower because the quality and intensity of the fragrance can vary widely from plant to plant. Also commonly called Carolina Allspice or Strawberry Bush.
