Description
Seven-Son Flower (Botanical Name: Heptacodium miconioides) is an uncommon, tall shrub that’s quickly gaining popularity due to its stunning ornamental fruit. This unique plant features abundant pink capsules that appear from mid to late fall, creating a striking display. Its upright-sprawling growth habit benefits from regular pruning and is best used in groups as a tall background in the garden. In addition to its vibrant fruit, Seven-Son Flower boasts fragrant creamy white flowers that bloom from late summer to mid-fall, offering an attractive late-season interest.
With its forest green deciduous foliage and shaggy antique red bark, Seven-Son Flower is an eye-catching addition to any landscape, even in winter. Its average texture blends well into the surroundings, but the plant's unusual fruit, flowers, and bark provide significant visual appeal. It’s a relatively low-maintenance shrub that’s also a great choice for attracting butterflies. For optimal growth, prune in late winter after the cold threat has passed.
