Heptacodium miconioides, or seven-son-flower, is native to China and is a unique ornamental shrub/small tree that is known for its fountain shape and fragrant white flowers. It prefers sandy loam soils supplemented with fertilizer. It is a great source of nectar for butterflies and hummingbirds and attracts a wide variety of pollinators. It is best to prune this species when young to establish its form, and may widen over time. It thrives in sun, or light shade, is easy to grow, and isn�t fussy about soil type, however it does require regular watering during the establishment phase.
