Spicebush (LINDERA BENZOIN)

Spicebush (Lindera benzoin) is a delightful, fragrant shrub that brings beauty and scent to your garden. In early spring, it blooms with bright yellow flowers that add a cheerful pop of color, followed by aromatic, spice-scented leaves throughout the growing season. Growing 6-12 feet tall, Spicebush is perfect for woodland gardens, shady borders, or as a natural hedge. Its vibrant fall foliage turns shades of yellow and red, providing seasonal interest. Spicebush is a great choice for attracting pollinators like bees and butterflies, and its berries provide food for birds. With its adaptability to moist, well-drained soil, Spicebush is an easy-to-grow, low-maintenance shrub that thrives in partial to full shade.
