Discover the enchanting allure of Lindera angustifolia, commonly known as Oriental Spicebush or Narrowleaf Spicebush, a captivating deciduous shrub that effortlessly enhances any landscape. Native to the thickets and wooded mountain slopes of China, this multi-stemmed wonder grows to an impressive 6-8 feet tall and 3-5 feet wide. Its stunning foliage is a year-round spectacle; elliptic-lanceolate glossy green leaves, each up to 4 inches long, boast silvery undersides that bring elegance throughout the growing season. In autumn, these leaves transform into a vibrant tapestry of orange, yellow, and red, eventually fading to a tawny-beige yet enduring through winter for added visual interest. Spring heralds the arrival of greenish-yellow blossoms, succeeded by black fruits come fall. Ideally flourishing in well-drained sandy soils with consistent moisture, it thrives in full sun to part shade. With hardy resilience against pests, this shrub is perfect for shade-dappled woodland gardens, naturalized meadows, or cottage borders.
