Due to the recent discovery of the spotted lanternfly in South Carolina, California has restricted the shipment of plants from SC as well as 15 other states in which the spotted lanternfly had already been found. It was found over 100 miles from Nurseries Caroliniana, but the whole state has been put under quarantine until a treatment protocol can be worked out to resume shipments to California. Authorities hope that this can be accomplished by the end of the month.

Calycanthus 'Aphrodite' PROVEN WINNERS®COLOR CHOICE®
This new hybrid Sweetshrub from Dr. Tom Ranney's breeding work at the NCSU Mountain Experiment Station in Fletcher, NC, is his best yet. It has brilliant red fragrant flowers which will continue to bloom all summer long.  It flowers best when grown in full sun to part shade on well drained soil with good moisture. The fragrance is absolutely delectable, and for one that cannot detect fragrances very well, that is saying a lot. You will be absolutely ensnared by this selection. But do bear in mind that this plant has "hybrid vigor" and will eventually make a small tree, if not kept pruned back. So give it plenty of space in sun or shade.
