Heptacodium miconioides 'SMNHMRF' - Temple of Bloom® Seven-Son Flower
Temple of Bloom Seven-Son Flower is a deciduous shrub or small tree with a vase-like habit and exfoliating bark. The green leaves have no fall color but can persist into November before dropping. An abundance of fragrant white honeysuckle-like flowers bloom from mid summer into fall, and the vivid red sepals remain after the flowers drop giving the impression of a second, red, bloom. Thrives in various light and soil conditions as long as its well-draining.
