This was the best that I could do with the background available.

Thanks!
White on white isn't the best, but it is so nice I wanted to show it.
As you know, I have a Clerodendrum (Ugandense) & fancy a couple more.

Meanie:

There's so many species of Clerodendrum which grow as garden shrubs here...they're such spectacular flowering shrubs, however, most species are very tropical.

Fast growing too!
Mine is just finishing its first flush of flowers, having gained almost 50cm in height.

Meanie:

Yes, most species are very fast growing. For example, Clerodendron ugandense can grow 6+ feet/ 2+ meters in the ground in one year.

I'll be happy for a 3 or 4 foot specimen, as it has to come indoors over the winter.

Meanie:

Clerodendron ugandense tolerates heavy pruning very well.
