Sweetshrub (Calycanthus floridus), also called Carolina Allspice is a deciduous shrub native to the southeastern United States, valued for its unique characteristics and ornamental appeal. Sweetshrub produces striking, maroon to brownish-red flowers with a delightful fruity fragrance. The blooms appear in late spring and continue through early summer, attracting pollinators and filling the garden with a sweet aroma.

Sweetshrub is useful as an informal hedge, woodland border, or specimen plant. Its glossy, dark green leaves add visual interest to the landscape throughout the growing season, turning a rich yellow in the fall for added autumn appeal. Sweetshrub is adaptable to a variety of soil types and light conditions, making it suitable for diverse garden settings. This shrub is generally low-maintenance, requiring minimal pruning and care once established.

Very satisfied

This shrub is not readily available in this area. Good size plant (they are very fast growers) at reasonable price with frequent updates re delivery time. Have bought several times from this company & have been very satisfied.

Sweet Shrub

My plants arrived in great condition. The packaging kept each plant intact. I planted them and 5 days later they are still looking so healthy. I have already given your info to 2 of my friends that were impressed. Thank you for a successful purchase.

Great plants, quick response

I purchased 3 sweetshrubs. Received them as scheduled but my husband thinking the package was something else. I contacted Old House and they promptly sent me proof of delivery. I figured out what happened. Plants arrived in great shape and were packaged so well they survived sitting in my husbands's garage for almost 2 weeks. Screw up was my fault but plants survived the abuse.
