Heptacodium is a small tree we particularly value for its unusual season of interest. Abundant fragrant flowers appear in late summer, when fewer woody plants are feeding pollinators, followed by persistent pink-red calyces. Peeling winter bark adds a final decorative feature. It is undemanding, but eventually needs more room than an ordinary compact shrub.

Price range: 9,00 € through 19,50 €
Heptacodium miconioides is a small ornamental tree featuring clusters of small cream white flowers which are very attractive to bees.
Heptacodium miconiodes is a small tree, reaching about 4m. It produces abundant clusters of scented creamy-white long-lasting flowers in late summer, which are very attractive to bees at a time when most other trees and plants are no longer in flower.
After the flowers have fallen their pink / red calyxes remain, providing additional colour and interest.
The light brown bark peels off in sheets in winter, revealing darker brown bark underneath.
