Heptacodium miconioides

Seven-Son Flower

A rare specimen plant, whose seed clusters are its premier ornamental feature. The small, abundant, fragrant, creamy-white blooms produce the light green seed clusters which ripen rose to brownish-purple in colour and remain for several weeks. The exfoliating bark provides winter interest.
