Seven-Son-Flower (Heptacodium miconioides) makes a striking specimen plant and exhibits multiple seasons of interest. Currently, its sweetly fragrant flowers are serving as a late-season nectar source. Post-bloom in October, persistent red to rosy-pink bracts will introduce a secondary display. Winter interest is provided by the exfoliating bark, with lighter brown strips peeling away to reveal other shades of brown beneath. Wanczyk Nursery carries both field-grown multistem specimens, as well as containerized single-trunk examples. This non-invasive native of China is rare and threatened in the wild due to habitat loss and is found mainly in arboreta. Consider adding this beauty to your landscape!
