Growing Clerodendrum (Glory Bower) – Shrub for Sun or Shade

Clerodendrum (Glory Bower) Growing Guide

Pronunciation: klare-oh-den'-drum

Grow in full sun or partial shade in well-drained soil. In Zone 6 (-10°F), plants may die back to ground in winter. Prune deadwood in spring; they'll bounce back and bloom by late summer. In the South and mild-winter West, train to a single trunk (remove suckers promptly) or grow as multi-stemmed shrub. Cut back to 6 feet annually in late winter/early spring to prevent legginess. Flowers on current season's growth.
