Carolina Allspice (Calycanthus floridus)
This unique shrub seems to be one of gardening’s best kept secrets, but hopefully not for much longer. Carolina Allspice is a hardy, adaptable and trouble-free garden shrub. And, the best bit is the fragrance – like a bowl of stewed apples with cinnamon. The perfume comes from not only the showy flowers, but also from the crushed leaves! Height: 2.5m (8′). Spread: 3m (10′).Culinary note: Some parts of these flowers are edible.

The height and spread of the plant delivered will vary depending on the season, meaning arrival images are an indication only.
