(Mexican Hydrangea or Rose Glory Bower) A native to China, this lovely late-flowering plant is still somewhat unusual here in England and in our opinion is one of the finest and most reliable late flowering shrubs.

Clerodendrum bungei has huge corymbs (flat topped flower clusters) of rose-red, fragrant flowers throughout late summer, from August until late into October. The leaves are large and deep green with a faint fragrance.

A handsome garden plant valued for its spectacular flowers late in the year! Can be grown in a large container if required.
