Clerodendrum bungei ‘Pink Diamond’ – Soft Pink Blooms with Lush Velvet Foliage
Clerodendrum bungei ‘Pink Diamond’ is a captivating shrub celebrated for its large, velvety heart-shaped leaves and stunning late summer flower clusters. The fragrant blooms display a delicate soft pink hue, creating a gentle, romantic contrast to the deep green foliage.
This vigorous, bushy shrub typically grows to 2–3 metres tall, offering a lush, tropical look that brings drama and texture to mixed borders, sheltered garden corners, or larger containers. Its late summer flowering period adds vibrant interest when many other shrubs are winding down.
Thriving best in sunny or lightly shaded, sheltered positions with moist, well-drained soil, ‘Pink Diamond’ enjoys protection from harsh winds and frost. It benefits from annual pruning in late winter or early spring to maintain shape and promote vigorous flowering.
