Calycanthus Aphrodite

We do not ship our roses or products.

One of our favorite shrubs in the garden and always noticed by customers is our Aphrodite Sweet Shrub. It looks tropical but is tough and I have never noticed any disease of pests on the plant. 

It is an improved calycanthus with large, bright red magnolia-like flowers with a sweet fragrance. This continuous blooming shrub has a large leaf that is glossy and a nice dark green. We prune it quite hard every spring but it does grow back to its full size each summer so give it a good size space to reach its potential.
