Clerodendrum trichotomum

160


Clerodendrum trichotomum has an exotic appearance that adds interest to sunny borders. This happens, especially in sheltered coastal gardens. It can be grown as a deciduous hardy shrub or small tree due to its upright, bushy habit. These perfumed flowers bloom in August. This is followed by turquoise-blue berries that contrast with the fiery autumn foliage. The pink buds open to reveal pristine-white starry blooms against a backdrop of large, dark green leaves. Height and spread: 6m (20?).
