Description
An excellent large evergreen shrub or small tree for growing in full shade to part shade and exceptionally reliable and easy to grow, ‘Purple Glaze’ puts a new twist on Star Anise featuring glossy, very deep burgundy new leaves every time the plant flushes growth during the season. These leaves gradually turn to a deep forest green with attractive yellow variegation aging to chartreuse. Though a whiff of the leaves reveals a pleasant anise scent that tempts the passerby to tear a leaf in order to enjoy the spicy aroma, this one is NOT edible! In early spring 3/4 inch 30-petaled flowers with ivory white petals streak in pink appear in clusters of 3 to 7. Growing to around 10 feet in height and maybe 6 feet wide in a rounded cone shape, Purple Gaze is excellent for use as an evergreen specimen or as a hedge in shady settings.
Landscape & Garden Uses
With an upright habit and rounded form 6 to 10 feet tall and 5 to 6 feet wide, the Purple Glaze Japanese Star Anise is ideal for use as a specimen, in groupings or as a natural evergreen hedge or privacy screen in shady sites. Also ideal for use in home foundation plantings to frame corners or as espalier (trained to grow flat against a wall) between widely-spaced windows or on windowless walls. A fine addition to shade and woodland gardens.
Suggested Spacing: 4 to 5 feet apart for solid hedges; 10 feet or more apart for space between plants
Growing Preferences
Star Anise is very easy to grow in organically rich, moist but well-drained soils in full shade to part shade. Direct afternoon sunlight is best avoided. No pruning necessary. That said, plants can be clipped to control height or for shaping purposes.
