Description

No way…a Sweetshub with purple leaves? Yep! Meet ‘Burgundy Spice’, a remarkable selection of the North American native Sweetshrub that displays deep purple leaves that hold their color well through summer and heat! In early to mid spring, fragrant burgundy to red spider-like flowers typical of sweetshrub emit a delightful spicy fragrance in the garden. Fall brings even more color when leaves turn to shades of orange, yellow. All grown up, this no-fuss, easy-to-grow, deer-resistant deciduous shrub will grow 6 to 8 feet tall and wide in sunny to partially shaded areas in the landscape. An easy-to-grow, low maintenance plant that delights the senses!

Landscape & Garden Uses

Growing 6 to 8 feet tall and wide, the Burgundy Spice Sweetshrub is ideal for use as a specimen, grouping, background or natural hedge in sunny to partially shaded landscape or flowering shrub and woodland borders. Burgundy Spice Sweetshrub is perfect for planting close to the house near a window or entryway where the fragrance may drift indoors. Plant additional plants by a favorite path or sitting area. A fine addition to cottage, purple theme gardens, wildlife and North American native plant gardens.

Suggested Spacing: 5 feet apart for solid hedge; 14 feet or more for space between plants

Growing Preferences

Sweetshrub is exceptionally easy to grow in a most any moist but well-drained soil of average fertility and full sun to part shade. We’ve seen no serious insect or disease problems and plants are quite drought tolerant when established.
