Northern Spicebush (Lindera benzoin) is a native understory shrub with small yellow flowers that appear very early in spring, aromatic foliage, and bright red berries in fall. It serves as a host plant for spicebush swallowtail butterflies and thrives in part shade. It blooms very early in spring, before its leaves emerge, and grows best in part shade to shade with moist soil.
