(Sweetshrub) If you are looking for a Sweetshrub that lives up to the hype, look no further than SIMPLY SCENTSATIONAL® Calycanthus. It’s been 18 years in the making and a lot of sniffing, but Proven Winners® feels they now have the most fragrant Sweetshrub on the market. Standing 6 feet tall and up to 5 feet wide, SIMPLY SCENTSATIONAL® explodes with blooms in late spring and summer. The burgundy buds burst open to fully double burgundy red blooms whose fragrance is amazing. It has been said you may notice a hint of strawberry, pineapple, banana, and even bubblegum as you walk by. The dark purple stems are lined with bright green foliage and buds and blooms from tip to toe. This native shrub has an exceptionally high flower count for even more garden pleasure. Planted in full sun to part shade locations, SIMPLY SCENTSATIONAL® Calycanthus is hardy in zones 4-9. Flowers form off of the previous season’s growth so we recommend trimming after flowering is finished. Cut a few sprigs for an indoor floral arrangement and enjoy the natural air freshener. SIMPLY SCENTSATIONAL® Calycanthus is a Proven Winners® ColorChoice® Flowering Shrub.
