5 Seeds Heptacodium miconioides Seven Sons Flower Shrub

Heptacodium miconioides, commonly called seven sons flower, is a deciduous shrub or small tree valued for its late-season display of fragrant white blossoms and showy reddish calyxes that follow. It brings multi-season interest to temperate gardens, with exfoliating bark and a graceful, upright habit that works well as a speciment or hedge planting.

Grown as an ornamental flowering shrub, seven sons flower is prized for its late summer to early autumn bloom, when clusters of white flowers open and are later replaced by persistent pink to red sepals that extend the display.
