Lindera benzoin / SPICEBUSH

Lindera benzoin, commonly known as spicebush, is a deciduous shrub native to eastern North America, valued for its aromatic foliage and vibrant seasonal changes. In early spring, it produces clusters of small, yellow flowers that are both fragrant and attractive to pollinators. The plant’s glossy, dark green leaves release a spicy fragrance when crushed, giving it its name. As fall approaches, the foliage turns brilliant yellow, adding a burst of color to the landscape. Spicebush is a versatile shrub, thriving in moist, well-drained soils and making an excellent addition to woodland gardens, naturalized areas, or as a fragrant hedge.
