Illicium parviflorum Yellow Anise

I've only recently started growing Illicium parviflorum in my zone 7a garden. So far, a shrub that I planted last autumn made it through a challenging year (longest stretch of below-freezing weather in 100+ years followed by multiple droughts and heat waves in the summer) with flying colors. It even flowered a little despite its small size. So I added another one from Mail Order Natives. As usual, the plants from Mail Order Natives are very good value -- nice size, healthy, and affordable. In fact, the plant was so tall that I gave it a haircut when I planted it so that the roots wouldn't have so many leaves to support and I wouldn't risk it getting blown over in a winter storm. I have high hopes that Illicium parviflorum could be a great privacy shrub in my zone.

Not sure if it'll grow well in my location because it said full shade is best and the most shade I could give it was half shadel. But at the price it cost, I'm willing to try this handsome native.

As all of my purchases I must say that the plants are always in a healthy pristine shape. I’m so happy to have found such an outstanding company by far the plants have been in the best shape easy to order so reasonably priced and all of my plants are doing great!

Great service. Plants arrived in excellent condition. Great price. Prompt delivery. Will definitely be ordering again!
