Details
This plant is featured in the end papers of Alice Morse Earle’s Old Time Gardens from 1901. The exceptionally fragrant, light green leaves are shaped like tiny oak leaves and are sticky with essential oils. The scent reminds us of bayberry and sweet fern. They make excellent wreath bases and filler for fresh bouquets.
