Description: Broadleaf evergreen shrubs valued for lush, aromatic foliage and unique star-shaped flowers that bloom in spring or early summer. Illicium thrives in shady, protected locations with rich, moist, acidic soil--ideal for woodland or understory planting in Austin landscapes. The leaves emit a spicy, anise-like scent when crushed, adding sensory interest. Most types are deer-resistant and low-maintenance once established. Avoid overly dry or alkaline soils. Mulch to maintain soil moisture and moderate temperature swings.
