Calycanthus (CAL-ĭ-CAN-this), commonly known as Sweetshrub or Carolina Allspice, is a delightful deciduous shrub valued for its fragrant, strawberry-green apple-scented flowers and lush, medium to dark green foliage. Its bark and roots, however, have a distinctive camphor-ish scent. The large, reddish-mahogany blooms, which appear in late spring to early summer, have a somewhat unique, distinguishing characteristic. Rather than having distinct, individual petals, this deciduous shrub produces blossoms with fused sepals and petals, referred to as tepals. Its fruity fragrance, makes Calycanthus a favorite for sensory gardens and borders. Its glossy, oval leaves provide a beautiful contrast to the striking flowers and will turn brilliant yellow in the fall, extending Sweetshrub’s seasonal interest. The fact that they have decidedly fuzzy undersides ensures that destructive, pesky, plant chompers will not be a problem. Calycanthus thrives in full sun to partial shade and well-draining soil, making it an easy-care shrub for a variety of landscape designs. Its drought tolerance and deer resistance further enhance its appeal as a low-maintenance addition to your outdoor environment.
At GrowJoy, we carefully cultivate our Calycanthus starter plants using sustainable practices to ensure they are safe for your garden and beneficial to pollinators. Each plant is nurtured to develop a strong root system, allowing it to establish quickly and thrive in your landscape. We guarantee that every Sweetshrub plant will arrive in excellent condition, ready to enhance your outdoor spaces with its fantastically fruity-smelling blossoms framed by lush foliage.
