Calycanthus 'Aphrodite' (Sweetshrub)
Jacob's grandma called our native Calycanthus floridus a bubby bush. Most people call it a Sweet Shrub or Carolina-allspice. Common names can be confusing but 'Aphrodite' is a selection made between the native Calycanthus floridus and the Asian C. chinensis. Large, glossy leaves and maroon flowers that have quite the aroma. Planted as a specimen this plant can easily reach 6-8' and as wide. Full sun or light shade.
