Calycanthus
(Sweetshrubs) These are amongst the oldest flowering plants, dating back to the mid-Cretaceous when the age of Dinosaurs was coming to an end. While they aren't the superstars of the flowering shrub world they are cherished by gardeners for their alluring fragrance, attractive foliage and adaptability. These multi-stemmed, shade-tolerant, understory shrubs prefer a moderately moist, woodsy soil with partial shade to sun.

Shipped well-rooted in our 1 litre, 4.5" square pots.
