This is the shrub I was talking about on the topic about Jasmine. I thought it was interesting enough to have its own topic.
There are three Sweetshrubs that I have found.

1. Sweetshrub Calycanthus floridus or Carolina allspice
Mature Height is 6 to 8 ft. Mature Spread is 8 to 10 feet. It is a slow grower, adaptable to all sorts of soil and moisture. It like full sun -partial sun - Fragrant Flower is Brownish Maroon. Foiliage is Green.
2. Hartiage Wine Sweetshrub - Calycanthus - a purplish fragrant flower
5. Venus Sweetshrub - Calycanthus - a white fragrant flower

DG has several people who have the Venus. I want to see what they say about that. I got the photo from Nature Hills Nursery. They are sold out of the Carolina and do not know when they will get them in again. Spoke to the man and he said to call back in several months to see if they ordered them.

I wonder if any of the DG North or South Carolina Members have any of these or cuttings from them.
I am so excited I found them. All I can find are seeds to the Carolina so far. I am going to keep searching. Plants are available for the other two but not the one I really want. If anyone finds one please contact me JB.
