California Allspice - Part of the Alan Titchmarsh Collection
Calycanthus floridus, Carolina Allspice, Common Sweetshrub
This unique shrub seems to be one of gardening’s best kept secrets, but hopefully not for much longer. It’s a hardy, adaptable and trouble-free garden shrub. And, the best bit is the fragrance - like a bowl of stewed apples with cinnamon. The perfume comes from not only the showy flowers, but also from the crushed leaves!

Strawberry Tree
Arbutus unedo 'Compacta', Killarney Strawberry Tree
- Scented blooms followed by edible berries
This striking shrub makes a superb focal point for year-round interest. Its leathery, evergreen foliage and peeling, cinnamon brown bark form a superb backdrop for the clusters of small, white, urn-shaped flowers in autumn. The dainty blooms give way to scarlet red fruits that only fully ripen in the following year, as a new set of flowers emerge. The edible fruits of Arbutus unedo ‘Compacta’ have a sharp aftertaste when eaten raw, but can be made into jams and preserves for a sweeter, guava-like flavour. This neat, compact variety is an ideal specimen shrub for a sheltered position. Although perfectly hardy once mature, Arbutus will appreciate a layer of fleece for winter protection when young. Height and spread: 150cm (59").
