Clerodendron trichotomum is a very fragrant shrub and blooms in summer when most shrubs are finished. Mine sends frangrance throughout a large part of the garden. Flower clusters are very showy, reddish-purple calyx with whitish flowers. Has blue berries in the center of the reddish calyces in fall. Seedlings can be a bit of a nuisance but with normal weeding not so bad.
