Illicium floridanum Halley’s Comet’

A free flowering selection with deep-red flowers and a vigorous but compact habit. Flowers are composed of many thin strappy petals, borne in spring over evergreen leathery foliage. A medium sized shrub with all parts emitting a pleasing fragrance when crushed (well, I like it). Best in a fairly sheltered spot, in not overly limy soil (i.e. thin chalk), and not too dry, in semi-shade.
