Looking for a stunning shade plant? Carolina Allspice (Calycanthus floridus) blooms with 2-inch-wide flowers in shades of red, pink, or white. The blooms last from spring to summer and emit a strong, fruity fragrance that butterflies and pollinators love. This deer-resistant shrub can thrive in the shade (though it can also do well in sunny spots, making it very versatile) and tolerates moist areas (but it does require well-draining soil). Carolina Allspice is hardy in Zones 4 – 9.
