Description
New and distinctive, ‘Miss Scarlet’ is a more compact Florida Anise that produces lots more flowers and larger leaves than the species. Abundant, octopus-shaped scarlet-red flowers are borne at the ends of stems in spring. Miss Scarlett’s anise-scented evergreen leaves are larger than other Illicium floridanum cultivars, and more rounded when young becoming pointed with age. At 5 to 6 feet tall and 4 to 5 feet wide when all grown up, Miss Scarlet grows to about half the size of the species so is a better fit for smaller garden spaces. A fine evergreen flowering shrub for shade and consistently moist soils.
Landscape & Garden Uses
Growing 5 to 6 feet tall and 4 to 5 feet wide, ‘Miss Scarlet’ Anise is ideal for use in the landscape as a specimen or accent, in groupings or as a natural hedge in shady to partially shaded landscape borders and home foundation plantings. A fine addition to fragrance gardens, shade gardens, red theme gardens, and North American native plant gardens.
Suggested Spacing: 3.5 feet apart for solid hedges; 7 feet or more apart for space between plants
Note: For our customers who live and garden north of USDA Plant Hardiness Zone 7a, where this Anise is not winter hardy, you’ll be happy to know it can be grown in containers that can be brought indoors during winter and placed back outside when temperatures warm up in spring
Growing Preferences
‘Miss Scarlet’ Anise is very easy to grow in organically rich, moist but well-drained soils in full sun to part shade. For best appearance and performance we recommend some shade in the afternoon. Maintenance is minimal except for a snipping here or there of a stray branch. That said, plants can be clipped to control height or to maintain as a hedge.
