The white, scented, magnolia-esque flowers of Calycanthus ?Venus? have complementary purple and yellow centres that burst onto the scene in May, blooming intermittently through summer and autumn months. This variety is a dense and rounded deciduous shrub with a strong growth habit, growing to a medium size, baring mid-green glossy foliage that change to a darker yellow shade of brown in the autumn season. Height: 1.8m (6'). Spread: 1.5m (5').Culinary note: Produces an edible and delicious spice. Snip off twigs and allow them to dry out in the sun or a low oven, then crush the bark and use like cinnamon. For more information and growing advice, read our edible flowers guide.Plant height and spread is seasonal therefore we list by pot size rather than a defined plant size.
