Clerodendrum paniculatum seeds grow into the pagoda flower — a robust, fast-growing, evergreen shrub native to the wet tropical biome of South-East Asia, from Myanmar east through Thailand, Cambodia, Vietnam, Malaysia and the Philippines. Described by L. (Linnaeus). The epithet paniculatum means 'with panicles' (from Latin panicula = cluster), referring to the large, branched inflorescences. The common name 'pagoda flower' perfectly describes the ornamental effect: small, orange-scarlet to red tubular flowers are arranged in large, tiered, pyramidal panicles (to 50 cm tall or more) that build up in successive whorls into a structure resembling an Asian temple pagoda — creating one of the most distinctive and dramatic inflorescences of any tropical shrub. Family Lamiaceae.Full sun to partial shade; moist, well-drained soils; warm tropical to subtropical conditions. Fast-growing; frost-tender. Excellent dramatic tropical ornamental.
