Clerodendrum

Family: Verbenaceae

There are a number of species, ranging from trees and shrubs to climbers in growth habit. Some were found in old-fashioned gardens in Brisbane and would be suitable for people wishing to re-create a traditional style.

However, some tend to sucker so confine those or be prepared to be vigilant to prevent them from getting out of hand.

C. ugandense is unusual for it's "blue" flowers, and would have to be high on the list of anyone planning a garden based around this colour scheme.

There are also native species of Clerodendrum, including C. tomentosum and C. floribundum.

More information in future updates. Meanwhile, check out the links at the bottom of the page.
