Calycanthus occidentalis (Western Spicebush) 1 gal
This is a hard-to-find multi-stem, thicket-forming, large deciduous shrub (3-12 ft. tall and wide) native to northern California. All parts of the plant have attractive fragrance: the blooms, the shiny leaves, and the bark.
The bright red flowers are 1-2 in. wide, resemble a magnolia blossom, and bloom from late spring to early fall in full sun to part shade. In the wild it grows in moist environments on a wide variety of soils; in the garden it will tolerate drought, sand or clay soils, and seasonal flooding.
Plants attract butterflies, birds and moths, and are deer resistant. Its ultimate size will depend on the growing conditions (soils, etc.) and the surrounding plants it may be competing with.
