Year-Round Yellow Foliage Brightens Up Shaded Spaces

Looking to brighten up a shaded space year-round? The Florida Sunshine Illicium delivers bold color in one easy-care package. This standout evergreen shrub features vibrant, chartreuse foliage that intensifies to brilliant yellow in fall and pale gold in winter. As temperatures drop, the red-tinted stems provide striking contrast for extra visual interest.

Smaller and more compact than its parent species, the Florida Sunshine grows in a dense, upright habit that reaches about 4–6 feet tall. It features fragrant, anise-scented foliage and is ideal for woodland borders, shady foundations, or bright accents in low-light garden beds.

Whether you're designing a serene woodland garden or want to bring year-round brightness to your foundation plantings, the Florida Sunshine Illicium is an unbeatable choice. With fragrant foliage and unmatched seasonal color, the Florida Sunshine Illicium is a four-season standout for shaded landscapes. Grow yours today!
