Clerodendrum Bungei, commonly known as\u00a0the\u00a0Glory Flower, is a deciduous\u00a0shrub\u00a0with large, pungent leaves and sweetly scented pink flowers. It originates from China and North India & was introduced to the UK in the 1850s. Clerodendrum Bungei has large leaves & an unusual leaf scent . Early in the season they turn a light shade of purple before maturing into dark glossy green. Rose-pink flowers appear during late summer to autumn in panicles with longer stamens in the centre. The flowers hold a sweet scent, and because they are so densely packed this scent can be identified at some distance. Clerodendrum bungee will reach a maximum height of 1.5-2 metres and spread over the same distance within 5-10 years. It is very reliable, growing back stronger and more vibrant each year.<\/p>\n

shade. Hardy perennial.<\/p>\n
A very good plant for shrub or mixed borders if managed in the correct way. Spreading by suckers, tall stems bear large, almost heart shaped leaves, which are purple-green when young, becoming dark green with age. Late in the season clusters of fragrant, deep pink flowers are borne at the top of the stems.\u00a0This plant is a good architectural specimen, and good as a back drop to hot coloured annuals and herbaceous plants. The bare winter stems are tall, and are good features in the winter months.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":8813,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":[],"product_brand":[],"product_cat":[95,91,85,37,83,49,89,61],"product_tag":[171,220,193,199,185,192,180,188,170,186,198,187,195,189,222,197,196,177,190],"class_list":{"0":"post-5443","1":"product","2":"type-product","3":"status-publish","4":"has-post-thumbnail","6":"product_cat-plants_a-d","7":"product_cat-autumn_plants","8":"product_cat-featured_plants_for_sale","9":"product_cat-plants_for_sale_a-z","10":"product_cat-seasonal_plants_for_sale","11":"product_cat-plants_in_situ","12":"product_cat-summer_plants","13":"product_cat-cool_border_plants_for_sale","14":"product_tag-architectural","15":"product_tag-bees","16":"product_tag-buy-plants-online","17":"product_tag-devon-plants-for-sale","18":"product_tag-full-sun","19":"product_tag-garden-club","20":"product_tag-hardy","21":"product_tag-lewis-cottage","22":"product_tag-magnificent","23":"product_tag-mid-summer","24":"product_tag-moorlander","25":"product_tag-ngs-devon","26":"product_tag-online-plant-sales","27":"product_tag-perennial","28":"product_tag-pink","29":"product_tag-plant-nursery","30":"product_tag-private-garden-tours","31":"product_tag-retentive-soil","32":"product_tag-the-garden","34":"first","35":"instock","36":"shipping-taxable","37":"purchasable","38":"product-type-simple"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/lewiscottageplants.co.uk\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product\/5443","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/lewiscottageplants.co.uk\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/lewiscottageplants.co.uk\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/product"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/lewiscottageplants.co.uk\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=5443"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/lewiscottageplants.co.uk\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/8813"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/lewiscottageplants.co.uk\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=5443"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"product_brand","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/lewiscottageplants.co.uk\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product_brand?post=5443"},{"taxonomy":"product_cat","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/lewiscottageplants.co.uk\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product_cat?post=5443"},{"taxonomy":"product_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/lewiscottageplants.co.uk\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product_tag?post=5443"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
