Clerodendrum myricoides 'Ugandense'
Blue Glorybower
Clerodendrum can be deciduous or evergreen shrubs, trees or climbers, with simple leaves, sometimes having an unpleasant scent, and clusters of usually fragrant salver-shaped flowers that have prominent stamens, which are followed by small berries .'Ugandense' is a lovely butterfly bush that makes an ideal garden plant for tropical and sub-tropical gardens, and a lovely house-plant for areas where Autumn or Winter frosts are a possibility. This frost-tender, evergreen shrub is often listed as a vine, and it requires support, though it is far too bushy to be considered a true vine.

Flowering Season
From Mid Summer TO Mid Autumn
This large shrub offers a late-summer display of jasmine-like white flowers encased in red tepals and scent. Bright blue berries in autumn are accented by conspicuous bright, pinkish-red calyxes.
Planting
From Early Spring TO Early Spring
For best bloom and berries, plant in full sun in rich, well-drained, loamy soil. Site plants in areas that receive frequent mowing as they tend to sucker.
Propagating by cuttings
From Late Summer TO Early Autumn
Take semi- ripe cuttings from this season's growth in late Summer. Cut neatly, just below a leaf node, a 5" approx. piece of a healthy shoot that has soft growth at the tip. pinch out the growing tip, and cut off the bottom leaves. Dip the bottom of the cutting in hormone rooting powder, and carefully place in a pot of cutting compost with the leaves just above the level of the compost. Water, label, cover with a polythene bag, and place in a warm, bright place, out of direct sunlight. Take the polythene bag off periodically for a while for ventilation (at least twice a week)
