Yellow Anise Shrub

Yellow Anise Shrub brings year-round structure, rich evergreen color, and a naturally full habit to the landscape. Its deep green leaves have a light anise scent when brushed, making it a beautiful and distinctive choice for foundation plantings, privacy screens, and layered shrub borders.

This adaptable native shrub thrives in partial shade to shade and performs especially well in moist, well-drained areas. Its larger mature size makes it an excellent option for informal hedges, woodland gardens, rain gardens, and natural privacy screening. Once established, Yellow Anise is heat tolerant, deer resistant, and low maintenance.

Sold in a 3-gallon container, Yellow Anise is a strong choice for Metro Atlanta landscapes that need dependable evergreen coverage in shaded or partially shaded areas.
