Care essentials

Light

Grow in full sun to part shade; in NE Florida's intense summer heat, afternoon shade can reduce stress and prolong flowering.

Water

Water regularly until established; once rooted, Clerodendrum tolerates moderate drought but blooms most profusely with consistent moisture during summer in zone 9b.

Soil & Fertilizer

Adaptable to most well-drained Florida soils; apply a balanced slow-release fertilizer in spring and mid-summer to encourage vigorous flowering; remove root suckers regularly to control spread.
