Fragrance:None
Light:partial sun to full sun

Planting/Care: none .. to encourage more blooms next year ( they bloom on new growth) trim back the branches that had blooms on them right after the blooming is finished.
Propagation: seed
Blooms: july - sept
Notes: We are blessed here in NC to have these gracefull tree/shrubs almost as native plants. The birds spread their seeds and they come up very often along roadsides. While there are several varieties .. many of which have some spectacular bark coloring .. the ones we have are courtesy of bird droppings so we don't know what variety they are. Here in Raleigh, they begin their blooming period in July and it lasts thru August. These can be trimmed in either a tree form by keeping suckers trimmed off (note try to trim them so that the trunks don't rub against each other) .. or in a bush form.
