Description: This species from China is similar to other illiciums, having a combination of glossy, evergreen foliage, dense pyramidal form and shade-tolerance. The star-petaled, 1.5 inch flowers range from pink to deep crimson and bloom in late spring from the leaf axils. Leaves are anise-scented and deer-resistant. While it loves shade, it tolerates considerable sun. Maintenance-free. Use as a specimen or privacy screen. This is the cream of the crop among the several anise-tree species on the market. Plant it in moist, well-drained soils. An established plant in central Pennsylvania has endured -28 F with no damage!
