Calycanthus Proven Winners® 'Aphrodite' (PBR)
Common Sweetshrub
Aphrodite is a new Sweetshrub cultivar that brightens up your garden with its highly fragrant crimson flowers, that bloom all summer long. The magnificent big flowers are offset perfectly by the glossy deep green leaves which become golden in autumn.
Aphrodite can be used as a specimen or a border plant. Plant it near the house or patio if you want to enjoy its delightful fragrance to the full. This Sweetshrub will grow well in most moist soils in either full sun or partial shade. It prefers a sheltered location.
