| Clerodendrum trichotomum var. fargesii |
In the herbaceous border large spaces remain where the tender plants once stood and the trees are losing their leaves but, as the annual and perennial flowers start to fade, there is a shrub that is putting on quite a show, Clerodendrum trichotomum var. fargesii, the Harlequin Glorybower.

| White Starry Fragrant Flowers |
Covered in numerous metallic blue berries, each one surrounded by star shaped maroon calyces, this large shrub's colourful display catches your eye as you walk past. White starry fragrant flowers have yet to open so more berries are still to come, a wonderful late autumn display.

Can clerodendrum tricjotomum be moved? I have just moved to a new garden and would like to extend a fruit cage over an area with an existing clerododendrum shrub.
ReplyDeleteHi Sarah. Thank you for your question about moving a Clerodendrum trichotomum var. fargesii. Although we have never moved one we have dug up the many stems that are around our main plant as it suckers alot. If we were to dig ours up we would do it whilst it is dormant, autumn/winter and then in the spring make sure it is regularly watered. Hope this helps, best regards Ali
