Chains of Glory (Clerodendrum smithianum)

This winter blooming clerodendrum puts on a spectacular display with cascading white flowers that dance against its deep green foliage. Flowering racemes hang down a foot and a half or more and usually arrive in the depth of winter. A great subject for hanging baskets or grown as a standard, it often has two flowering periods during the winter season. Don’t prune after the height of summer so as to not disrupt the blooming cycle. Grow this cascading variety in full sun.
