A Stunning Display of Fruity-Scented Blooms Across Spring and Summer
Combining the finest traits of native West Coast and Chinese sweet shrubs, the Aphrodite Sweetshrub is known for its cupped, deep red, magnolia-like blossoms and large, glossy green leaves resting on arching stems. This cultivar exhibits unique characteristics depending on where it is grown: in cooler climates, it can bloom continuously all summer long, whereas warmer zones typically experience a 6 to 8 week bloom period spanning spring and early summer. Its distinct fruity fragrance also varies based on the age of the blossom and the individual flower, with some being richly aromatic and others offering little to no scent at all.
The mature size of the plant can vary significantly. While often maintained as a 6-to-8-foot shrub, given ample space to grow and left unpruned, it can reach 12 to 15 feet—with some specimens growing up to 25 feet tall. Featuring long-lasting deep red flowers, versatile size, and a captivating aroma, this extraordinary plant is sure to become a standout favorite in your garden.
