Description
Illicium henryi A glossy-leaved evergreen shrub with an upright growth habit. A member of the “Star Anise” genus with delightfully fragrant foliage and stems. The red flowers (early summer) have numerous strap-shaped narrow petals followed by woody “star-shaped” fruit. Very interesting and attractive, however, this species of Star Anise cannot be used as a spice as it is slightly posionous. Tolerant of full sun or deep shade and also deer resistant! (0) RSBG
