Valued for the sweet, fruity fragrance of its flowers, Calycanthus ‘Aphrodite’ (Sweetshrub) is a compact, dense, multi-stemmed, deciduous shrub boasting large, fragrant, deep red flowers, 4 in. across (10 cm). Resembling magnolia blossoms, they are produced in abundance at the ends of short branchlets in late spring – early summer. The lustrous foliage of dark green oval leaves turns an attractive golden-yellow in fall. All plant parts are fragrant – including leaves, seed pods, and bark which exude a spicy scent when crushed.
