Illicium floridanum Florida Anise 3 Gallon

Florida Anise (Illicium floridanum) is a fast-growing evergreen shrub valued for its lush foliage, adaptability, and year-round landscape appeal. Featuring glossy, dark olive-green leaves that release a distinctive anise-like fragrance when crushed, this low-maintenance shrub brings texture and interest to shaded gardens. In spring, unique dark red, star-shaped flowers bloom for up to six weeks, creating a striking contrast against the rich foliage. Ideal for wet soils and difficult shady locations, Florida Anise excels as a privacy screen, foundation planting, mass planting, or woodland garden specimen. Its tolerance for moisture, shade, and challenging growing conditions makes it an excellent choice for low-maintenance landscapes.
