What an amazing plant. Full and bush and very healthy. Great size! I planted in my woodland garden 10 months ago and it is doing very well. Best thing.....the deer ignored my illicium's all winter.

Fabulous variety. Received even though the state was incorrect in my address (my fault). The upper buds were knocked off but plenty left to enjoy a spring show. Please offer in smaller sizes again for planting among mature trees and their roots. Your quart sizes are fabulous! Thanks.
