Lindera benzoin, also known as wild allspice, Benjamin bush, or spicebush, is native to North America. Spicebush prefers moist soils, making it a great shrub for wet areas, rain gardens, and other areas where other plants may struggle. Thrives in full sun to part shade and can be used as erosion control. All plants produce yellow flowers which bloom in early spring; however, only female plants produce spicebush's striking red berries in late summer. Growing spicebush from seed is a great way to support your local wildlife, especially swallowtail butterfly larvae who feed exclusively upon spicebush leaves and birds that feed on its berries. Plants reach heights of 6-12 feet at maturity and grow in zones 4-9.
