About This

• Native Spicebush Shrub: 100 Spicebush seeds for planting grow into Lindera benzoin, a native deciduous flowering shrub with fragrant foliage, yellow spring flowers and colorful fall interest. An excellent choice for native gardens, woodland landscapes, wildlife plantings and naturalized areas
• Butterfly Host Plant: Spicebush is an important host plant for Spicebush Swallowtail caterpillars and provides valuable habitat in wildlife friendly landscapes. Small yellow flowers appear early in spring, while established female plants can produce bright red berries when properly pollinated
• Grows 6 to 12 Feet Tall: Mature Spicebush typically develops into a substantial rounded shrub approximately 6 to 12 feet tall and wide. Its branching growth and leafy habit work beautifully along woodland edges, native borders, natural screens and informal landscape areas
• Fragrant Foliage and Fall Color: Leaves and twigs are naturally aromatic when crushed, giving Spicebush its distinctive name. Healthy green foliage provides an attractive backdrop throughout summer before changing to bright shades of yellow during the fall season
• Yellow Flowers and Red Berries: Clusters of small yellow flowers emerge along bare branches in early spring before the foliage appears. Female plants may later develop glossy red berries in fall when a compatible male Spicebush is growing nearby for successful pollination
• Adaptable Native Plant: Spicebush grows naturally in moist woodland conditions and performs well in partial shade with rich, consistently moist soil. Established shrubs can tolerate more sun when adequate moisture is available, making them useful throughout native landscapes
