Heptacodium

An underutilized deciduous shrub or small tree. Develops sweetly fragrant, white flowers in August and September followed by brilliant red calyxes in October. The overall effect is breathtaking and is much like having two completely different bloom periods. In winter, the tan-brown bark exfoliates in thin strips and plates to reveal startling whitish inner bark. A great specimen plant or addition to the shrub border. One of our favorites! 15-20’ Learn More
