Description
An excellent native evergreen shrub or small tree for growing in shade and consistently moist soil, ‘Pink Frost’ puts a new twist on Florida Anise with her lovely variegated white and green foliage that turns a pretty rose-pink color during the cool season. The variegated foliage is the perfect backdrop for the uniquely shaped dark maroon-red flowers in spring. It loves to grow in a moist, but well drained soil. Pink Frost performs and looks equally as well growing in the ground or in pots, planters and other containers. Excellent for use as an evergreen privacy screen in shade or as a large specimen shrub or small tree. A whiff of the leaves reveals a pleasant anise scent that tempts the passerby to tear a leaf in order to enjoy the spicy aroma.Â
Landscape & Garden Uses
With an upright habit and rounded form 6 to 10 feet tall and equally as wide, Pink Frost Florida Anise is ideal for use as a specimen, in groupings or as a natural evergreen hedge or privacy screen in shady sites with consistently moist soil. As this anise grows taller lower branches can be removed to form a highly attractive evergreen focal point specimen tree. Also ideal for use in home foundation plantings to frame corners or as espalier (trained to grow flat against a wall) between widely-spaced windows or on windowless walls. A fine addition to shade and woodland gardens.
Suggested Spacing:Â 4 to 5 feet apart for solid hedges;Â 12 feet or more apart for space between plants
Growing Preferences
Florida Anise is very easy to grow in organically rich, moist but well-drained soils in full sun to part shade. For best appearance and performance we recommend some shade in the afternoon. No pruning necessary. That said, plants can be clipped to control height or for shaping purposes.
