Harlequin Glorybower – Clerodendron trichotomum 60 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 striking late-blooming ornamental shrub or small tree known for its fragrant white flowers and brilliant metallic-blue fruits.

Native to China and Japan, this deciduous plant produces dramatic 6–9 inch clusters of sweetly fragrant white tubular flowers from July through September, blooming when many other trees have finished for the season. These are followed by vivid blue berry-like fruits set against bright red calyces, creating an eye-catching late-season display. (Fruit is ornamental and not edible.)

The dark green leaves are softly textured and release a unique peanut butter-like scent when crushed — giving rise to the nickname “Peanut Butter Tree.” It can be trained into a small ornamental tree or grown naturally as a large flowering shrub, making it ideal for specimen planting, shrub borders, or hedges.

This 60-seed pack is perfect for multiple plantings, propagation projects, or training several trees.

✔️ 60 Harlequin Glorybower seeds
