Sweetshrub, also known as Carolina Allspice (Calycanthus floridus), is a fragrant native shrub with unusual maroon, strap-petaled flowers that carry a fruity spice scent. It adapts well to part shade and offers attractive glossy summer foliage and yellow fall color. It blooms in mid-to-late spring and grows best in full sun to part shade with moist, well-drained soil.
