Sweet Smelling Banana Shrub (Laffy Taffy Tree)

🌿 Banana Shrub aka Laffy Taffy Tree

If you’ve never smelled a Banana Shrub in bloom… oh man, you’re in for a treat. 🍌 This little evergreen wonder bursts into bloom each spring with creamy yellow flowers that smell exactly like Banana Laffy Taffy dusted in sugar. It’s one of those plants you walk by once and immediately turn around for another sniff—sweet, nostalgic, and downright addictive.

Starts off small and bushy, but give it time and love—it can grow into a 15-foot evergreen beauty with shiny green leaves and a tropical vibe. One of JD’s personal favorites (and that’s saying something), this one’s super easy to grow, thrives in sun or shade, and stays gorgeous year-round.

✨ Unique. Cool. Fragrant. Easy.
If Willy Wonka owned a garden, this would be in it.
