Don't Forget To Add These for Your Plants:

Swamp Hobbit Florida Anise is a very slow-growing dwarf evergreen shrub with a low-mounding habit that produces quarter-sized bright red flowers in mid spring and again in fall. The flowers are not fragrant; however, the dark green, oblong foliage has an extremely pleasant scent.  Grows best with consistently moist well-drained soils.  Swamp Hobbit is so slow-growing that it only reaches 8" in five years!
