Description How to Grow More Info Delivery

This showy and unusual shrub offers a long season of interest with its bold foliage, late summer flowers and extraordinary autumn berries. Clerodendrum trichotomum var. fargesii forms a tall, bushy shrub with large, ovate leaves that are tinged with bronze when young. In late summer, green to pink buds burst into clusters of highly fragrant, starry white flowers. Come autumn, the flowers transform into shiny, jewel-like fruits with a central turquoise ‘bead’ surrounded by crimson calyces. This fast-growing deciduous shrub makes a fine specimen for a large border where it adds valuable late season interest. RHS Award of Garden Merit. Ultimate height and spread: 6m (20ft).

Grow in fertile well-drained soil in a sheltered spot in sun or partial shade.

Clerodendrum is a semi-herbaceous shrub so in mild winters the top growth will survive, but in cold winters it will die back to the ground and grow from the base in the following spring.

Plants will start to produce suckers over time and if these are not removed, they will grow to form a clump. Slug protection is advised if planting in a vulnerable site.
