Harlequin Glorybower – Clerodendron trichotomum 10 Seeds | Fragrant Flowering Tree | Showy Blue Fruit Late Summer Blooms | Unique Ornamental Tree | Pollinator Friendly

Grow your own Harlequin Glorybower (Clerodendron trichotomum) — a striking late-blooming ornamental shrub or small tree known for its fragrant white flowers and vivid metallic-blue fruits.

Native to China and Japan, this unique deciduous plant produces large clusters (6–9 inches) of delightfully fragrant white tubular flowers from late summer into early fall — a time when few trees are still in bloom. After flowering, brilliant blue berry-like fruits appear, each surrounded by a fleshy red calyx, creating a dramatic and colorful display. (Fruit is ornamental and not edible.)

The large dark green leaves have a soft texture and release a distinctive peanut butter-like aroma when crushed — earning it the nickname “Peanut Butter Tree.” With proper training, it can be grown as a small tree or maintained as a large flowering shrub.

You will receive seeds similar in quality and viability to those shown in the listing photos.
