Late-Season Fragrance and Color

The Temple of Bloom® Seven-Son Flower earns its name from its clusters of fragrant white flowers, which bloom in late summer when many other plants have finished flowering. These blooms appear in groups of seven, filling the air with a sweet fragrance that attracts pollinators like bees and butterflies. After the blooms fade, vibrant red calyces emerge, extending the color show well into the fall. This transition from white to red adds a fresh burst of color late in the growing season, making this plant a star in any garden.
