Seven-Son Flower 7 Gallon

Heptacodium miconioides

Seven-Son Flower is a large multi-trunked shrub that acheives a fountain shape. September brings flattened panicles of white fragrant flowers, usually in seven-branched clusters, hence the name. Small purple-red fruits appear in fall that are also very showy. Attractive bark. Excellent nectar source in fall when pollinator resources are scarce. Water well after planting; maintain 1 inch of water once a week the first year. Prune after flowering to control size. Remove dead branches at any time. Feed at least twice during the growing season with a slow release fertilizer in early spring and again mid-summer. Follow label instructions. Mulch 2 inches to suppress weeds, retain moisture and protect against extremes of soil temperature.
