Woodland Ruby Florida Anise is an evergreen shrub that produces quarter-sized bright pink flowers with purple overtones 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.
