2.5 Gal - Small Anise Tree Illicium Parviflorum Plant With Olive-Green Shade-Tolerant Foliage

The Small Anise Tree (Illicium parviflorum) is a classic selection known for its tolerance of wet soil and full shade. It features elongated olive-green leaves that are evergreen and reliably attractive throughout the year. This is a fantastic choice for naturalizing a landscape, as it's native to the United States. It's also perfect for water/rain gardens, shaded areas, and erosion prevention. Additionally, it features petite yellow flowers in late spring. This variety reaches 10 ft. - 15 ft. tall and 6 ft. - 10 ft. W at maturity. It spreads by root suckers and forms colonies over time. The Small Anise Tree is winter hardy from USDA Zones 7-10. It can handle Full Sun to Full Shade, though it will require frequent water in Full Sun. It prefers rich soils and should be watered 3-4 times per week during the first growing season. Fertilize with a balanced plant fertilizer in early spring. These Illicium Parviflorum are healthy and well-established in a 2.4 Gal. (#3) pot and will tend to be about 18 in. - 24 in. tall when shipped. THIS IS NOT THE EDIBLE TYPE OF ANISE.
