Illicium parviflorum is a versatile evergreen shrub or small tree known for its upright, suckering growth habit. Reaching heights of 10 to 20 feet, it features leathery, olive-green foliage that emits a distinct licorice aroma when crushed. This Florida native is ideal for creating dense privacy hedges, screens, or windbreaks in moist, well-drained soils. While it thrives in partial to full shade, it can tolerate full sun if kept consistently hydrated. It is notably deer-resistant.
