Heptacodium miconioides

This large shrub (or small tree!) native to China flowers in September. The white flowers are attractive among the green foliage and a most pleasant sight among the early colourers in the annual autumn show.

Notable specimens can be found in Colour Circle in the Old Arboretum and in Maple Loop in Silk Wood.
