FLORIDUS CAROLINA SWEETSHRUB

Calycanthus floridus is commonly referred to as Carolina Allspice, Hairy Allspice or Carolina Sweetshrub. It is a unique shrub that features large, dark maroon flowers at the end of large leafy branchlets. It has a wonderful strawberry-like fragrance when stems and leaves are crushed. It has a dense, rounded, suckering habit and grows 6-7 feet tall and wide. Flowers give way to urn-shaped fruit (seed capsules) in fall that persist in winter. They give off a pleasant spicy aroma.

Carolina Allspice enjoys full to part sun with humus-rich, moderately moist, well-drained soil. Ideal near living areas where its pleasant aroma can be enjoyed. Great as fresh cut flowers too!

Planting Tips ⓘ

To help this plant settle in and thrive, we recommend these standard planting practices: Plant in fertile, well-draining soil rich in organic matter, selecting a location with full sun to partial shade for the best performance. While these shrubs are adaptable, consistent soil moisture is crucial during the first few growing seasons to ensure successful establishment. Prune immediately after flowering if shaping is necessary, as these varieties typically bloom on the previous year's wood. Apply a layer of organic mulch around the root zone to stabilize soil temperature and conserve moisture, ensuring the mulch remains a few inches away from the crown.
