Calycanthus floridus
Common sweetshrub

Culture: Adaptable to many soils, acid or alkaline. It performs best in partial shade but will tolerate full sun to moderate shade. This uncommon shrub is very pest free but is somewhat sensitive to drought. A somewhat leggy growth habit can be corrected by an occasional renewal pruning.
