Rose Glorybower (Clerodendrum bungei) is native to India and Asia and spreads aggressively by suckering. Plant just one and you will soon have new shoots popping up all around it. To keep Rose Glorybower contained plant it either in a container or a bed bordered by grass or sidewalks to keep it from spreading. Rose Glorybower makes a nice landscape plant blooming with huge heads of pink flowers from Spring until the first frost and growing up to six feet in height. The flowers are highly fragrant a smell a great deal like the breakfast cereal Fruit Loops. These blooms are an attractive nectar source to butterflies and other pollinating insects.
I really cannot stress enough the invasive nature of this plant. If you put it in the ground, be prepared to do battle with lots of sucker growth. If you are willing to work to keep it container, or just put it in a container of some sort then Rose Glorybower can make a great addition to your garden.
