Harlequin Glorybower – Clerodendron trichotomum 480 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 eye-catching late-blooming ornamental shrub or small tree admired for its fragrant white flowers and striking 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 other trees have finished blooming. After flowering, vivid blue berry-like fruits appear, each highlighted by a bright red calyx for dramatic late-season color. (Fruit is ornamental and not edible.)

The large dark green leaves are softly textured and release a distinctive peanut butter-like scent when crushed, earning the nickname “Peanut Butter Tree.” It may be grown as a multi-stemmed shrub or trained into a beautiful small ornamental tree, making it perfect for specimen planting, shrub borders, or hedges.
