Proven Winners® Color Choice® Aphrodite Sweetshrub (Calycanthus x 'Aphrodite') - QT

Aphrodite is a sweetshrub with large, magnolia-like maroon-red flowers that actually smell sweet, like ripe apples, repeating through summer over glossy foliage. It is a native-hybrid shrub to about six feet that thrives in shade to part shade, where flowering shrubs are scarce. Average soil, no pests worth naming, and deer indifference round it out.
