Discover the enchanting beauty of Clerodendrum trichotomum, commonly known as Glory Bower or Harlequin Glorybower. This remarkable broadleaf deciduous shrub or small tree captivates with its stunning late summer and early fall display. Growing between 10 to 20 feet tall, this plant is a standout in any garden, adorned with simple, opposite, ovate leaves that, when bruised, exude a unique peanut butter aroma. As an ornamental wonder, it showcases fragrant, white, tubular flowers in long-peduncled cymes blooming vividly against dark green foliage. These blooms give way to extraordinary showy red calyxes encompassing bright blue fruits, adding an exotic touch to your garden.

Perfect for USDA Zones 7-10, Clerodendrum trichotomum thrives in organically rich, well-drained soil with sun to part shade exposure. It is beloved by pollinators like hummingbirds, butterflies, and honeybees, bringing life and movement to your outdoor space. While winter hardy, this plant benefits from a winter mulch to safeguard against cold temperatures, ensuring it delights you for seasons to come. Ideal for shrub borders, woodland margins, or privacy screens, Harlequin Glorybower is a unique, aromatic addition to your landscape, promising to charm and captivate all who encounter it.
