Fascinating group of plants ranging from southern Australia to South America with a couple as far north as Mexico — all most closely resembling the northern hemisphere genus illicium. Drimys lanceolata, most often a shrub though can reach 8-10ft or more, is most striking where the brick-red stems and leaf bases can be observed up close. The leaves are shiny and narrow — to 2″ — with mostly spring clusters of lightly honey scented white flowers and clusters of black berries that have, historically, been ground and used as peppercorns. We have found the leaves ( just a few) to be a wonderful, spicy addition to salads — though our plants are mostly for external use. Would prefer regular summer water. Not a lover of great heat and humidity or freezing, drying winds, but superb along the Pacific Coast where temperatures seldom fall below 15F, mid USDA zone 8; has survived close to 0F, zone 7, with protection.

Also known as Tasmannia lanceolata.
