Summary
Heptacodium miconioides, or seven-son-flower, is a rare plant that was first collected in 1907 by E. H. Wilson during an expedition to China, but was only later recognized and rediscovered in 1980. It is a member of the Caprifoliaceae family, related to viburnum and forsythia, and is an outstanding specimen plant that thrives in full sun and dappled shade. Researchers at the Chicago Botanic Garden have been studying Heptacodium, assessing characteristics such as flowering, fruiting, growth habit, and disease and pest resistance, and have proven to be cold hardy to temperatures as low as minus 30 degrees below zero while still maintaining superior flower and fruit displays.
