Harlequin Glorybower – Clerodendron trichotomum 240 Seeds | Fragrant Flowering Tree | Showy Blue Fruit Late Summer Blooms | Ornamental Specimen | Unique Garden Tree

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

Native to China and Japan, this deciduous plant blooms from July through September, producing large 6–9 inch clusters of sweetly fragrant white tubular flowers when most trees are no longer flowering. After blooming, striking bright blue berry-like fruits develop, each surrounded by a vivid red calyx, creating a bold ornamental display. (Fruit is decorative and not edible.)

The large dark green leaves are softly textured and release a distinctive peanut butter-like aroma when crushed, earning it the nickname “Peanut Butter Tree.” It can be grown naturally as a multi-stem shrub or trained into an elegant small ornamental tree for specimen planting, borders, or hedges.

This 240-seed pack is ideal for nursery propagation, landscaping projects, restoration plantings, or growing multiple trained specimens.
