Pagoda Flower

Borneo Sunset pagoda flower (Clerodendron paniculata 'Borneo Sunset') is a large, tropical perennial with reddish-bronze foliage. It produces large inflorescences of red-orange flowers at the tips of its branches during the winter months in Chicago inside a greenhouse, but it flowers outside year-round in warm climates. This plant is the perfect choice for homeowners looking for something slightly different during the holiday season. When planted in a conservatory or greenhouse, this fast-growing 3-foot-tall by 3-foot-wide tropical shrub flowers best in full to partial sunlight and moist, well-drained soils.
