Illicium parviflorum
A tough, aromatic evergreen shrub native to the southeastern U.S., yellow anise brings year-round structure to shady gardens with its glossy green leaves and subtle, star-shaped yellow flowers in summer. Its dense growth and adaptability make it ideal for screening, understory planting, and habitat restoration. Crushed leaves emit a distinctive anise-like scent, though the plant is not edible.
