Illicium floridanum 'Swamp Hobbit' ~ Swamp Hobbit Florida Anise Size:2 GALLON Foliage is slow to emergeSwamp Hobbit Florida Anise is a very slow growing dwarf evergreen shrub with a low mounding habit that produces quarter sized bright red flowers in mid spring and again in fall. The flowers are not fragrant; however, the dark green, oblong foliage has an extremely pleasant scent. Grows best with consistently moist well drained soils. Swamp Hobbit is so slow growing that it only reaches 8" in five years! Type: Shrub Origins: Southeast N. America
