Another selection by Sean Hogan from Taiwanese collections by Dan Hinkley - P. illicioides DJHT 99079, this one chosen for its denser form, to only 5 ft or so, and ever-so-slightly smaller, narrow leaves that present a fine texture in the garden. An evergreen shrub with the same fragrant, white flowers in spring and, in autumn, very small, blue-black fruit in orange capsules. Best in light shade with regular summer water. Frost hardy in USDA zone 8 and expected in zone 7.
