Discover the Spicebush (Lindera benzoin), a wonderful American native shrub that offers multiple seasons of interest!

It's one of the first shrubs to show off in the fall, boasting a clear yellow fall color that brightens the landscape early in the season, often before shrubs like Fothergilla have even begun to turn.

In this gardening video, we explore why the Spicebush is a truly special plant:

Spicy Fragrance: Learn about its best identification attribute: the wonderful spicy fragrance of the leaves when crushed, even after they've turned yellow.

Early Spring Flowers: Clusters of yellow, axillary flowers emerge early in the season before the leaves come out, providing a nice splash of clear yellow color.

Growing Conditions: This is a versatile shrub that thrives in dappled shade, but will also do well from full sun to half shade. It is happy in any kind of garden soil.

Size & Family: It typically reaches about 12 to 16 feet tall with a similar spread. Lindera is a member of the Laurel family (Lauraceae), known for its aromatic leaves (like Bay Laurel).
