Also known as Wild Allspice, this deciduous, perennial shrub displays glossy leaves and light, slender green branches that grow 6 to 12 feet tall. Out of its aromatic foliage bloom dense clusters of tiny, pale yellow flowers, followed by glossy red fruit. The leaves turn a colorful golden-yellow in the fall. This plant grows in full sun to shade, in dry to wet, well-drained soils. It serves as a larval host for a number of butterfly species.
