The Aromatic Aphrodite Sweetshrub

Imagine a vigorous shrub with glossy green foliage and continuously blooming fruit scented flowers! Such a shrub would describe the aromatic Aphrodite Sweetshrub!
This shrub blooms from mid-May to mid-July (in northern Ohio) and provides ornamental interest well into the summer. Even after flowering, the sweetshrub maintains elegant, glossy green foliage, before it eventually turns yellow in autumn. When fully dormant, the leaf buds on an Aphrodite Sweetshrub can tolerate temperatures down to -15°F (-26°C) and it can still re-sprout from the base when exposed to even colder conditions!
