Common name seven son flower Family caprifoliaceae Life cycle shrub (Z5-9) Flowers creamy white (september) Size 15' Light sun Cultural notes ordinary garden soil Flowering deciduous shrub native to China, grows taller than it gets wide. Its natural habit is multistemmed, but may be trained to a single-trunk tree shape. Flowers are supposedly fragrant (although my nose isn't much attuned to floral fragrances), and the interest continues into fall with red fruit, and winter with exfoliating bark. We planted ours a year ago in fall, and haven't seen its true habit yet.

In our garden, this plant grows in the following area: bogside border
