Carolina Allspice, or Calycanthus Floridus, is a type of deciduous bush that grows in various environments in the United States. The shrub grows in environments ranging from shaded forests to sunny and bright fields. It is most known for its sweet smell and has been cultivated because of that.

Benefits Of Growing Carolina Allspice

The shrub itself is known for the sweet smell that is reminiscent of fruit like bananas or pineapples. This led to the plant getting the name the sweet shrub and has been used to scent things like closets and clothes. This helped keep mildew smells away and left everything fresh. 

The Calycanthus Floridus is a relatively large shrub, growing anywhere from six to twelve feet tall. It can also grow outwards to around the duplicate footage, so you could see some of these shrubs being twelve feet tall and twelve feet wide. Most probably won't get to be that large, but it can happen. 

Regarding conditions and soil type, this is one of the more flexible of the various bushes you can find in the United States. It can develop in a mixture of soil types, from heavily moist soil. It retains water in well-drained soil that might lean towards the dryer side. This makes the shrub surprisingly easy to grow or find in the well as in a garden. 

The Beauty Of The Carolina Allspice

The loveliness of the plants comes from the sweet scent they give off, but that is not to say they don't have a flower because they do. It is a dark red flower with a bulb set of petals in the middle and then an exterior set of petals that fan out. The sweet scent of the Carolina Allspice can influence the flower. That being said, the flower is only sometimes the easiest to find, as it can sometimes be found in the underbrush of the bush.
