Illicium parviflorum Anise

Bring year-round interest and a delightful aroma to your landscape with the Anise (Illicium parviflorum) evergreen shrub. A highly versatile and easy-to-grow North American native, anise is cherished for its glossy, olive-green foliage that releases a sweet, licorice-like fragrance when bruised. This shrub or small tree offers a dense, upright habit, making it an excellent choice for a robust hedge, screen, or foundation planting. In addition to its attractive foliage, it is extremely low-maintenance and notably resistant to deer, making it a hassle-free addition to any garden. Thriving in moist, well-drained soils and tolerating a range of light conditions, the anise shrub is a reliable and fragrant workhorse for adding structure and evergreen appeal to your garden.
