Spice Bush Clusters of tiny, aromatic, greenish-yellow flowers bloom along the branches in early spring before the foliage emerges. Flowers of female plants give way to bright red drupes (to 1/2" long) which mature in fall and are attractive to birds. Drupes are very attractive, but are largely hidden by the foliage until the leaves drop. Leaves are aromatic when crushed. The larva (caterpillar) of the spicebush swallowtail butterfly feeds on the leaves of this shrub. They are easily grown in average, medium wet, well-drained soils in full sun to part shade. |
