Calycanthus floridus
A branching, spreading, deciduous shrub to 2m with scented leaves and flowers. The very fragrant, strappy flowers are dark red and scented of a mix between pineapple, banana and strawberry. The flowers appear at the end of branches from May to July and are followed by interesting seedpods which last through the winter. The golden-green leaves are scented of camphor and turn a yellow colour in autumn.
This Carolina spice bush likes a moist, well-drained soil in sun or partial shade.
