Exceptional Late Season Color
Beautiful white late-summer flowers turn in to gorgeous fruits with stunning red and purple calyces lasting well into fall.
Heptacodium miconioides -- Seven Sons Flower- provides beautiful, sweetly fragrant cascades of sparkling white flowers in late summer. For many plants this would be the highlight, but this is only the beginning of this rare tree's spectacular drama. Flowers soon transform into fruits surrounded by large, glowing red and purple calyces more gorgeous than the flowers- an effect that lasts 4 to 5 weeks (well into late fall), increasing even further when the prominently-veined leaves turn a gorgeous purple. This eye-catching delight grows rapidly to about 15 feet. Adaptable to sun or shade, although best color is achieved when planted in sun. Whitish, exfoliating young bark turns rich brown at maturity, giving rise to its nickname "The Crepe Myrtle of the North"! Winner of the Gold Medal Plant Award of the Pennsylvania Horticultural society. Zones 4-9.
