I had a Clerodendrum thomsoniae but it died quickly because I forgot to water it. GRRR! I do have the hardy one - C. trichotomum which can be weedy but I like most aspects of this small tree - leaves that smell like peanut butter, spicy blooms, and eye catching dark berries.

I thought that was an epi. Has it bloomed for you? I grew some from seed many years ago and one only bloomed one time when I had a greenhouse at our previous house. I guess it needs sun year round to set blooms?

Here are a few photos of the C. trichotomum (Harlequin Glorybower, Peanut Butter Tree). The only blooms of my epi a long time ago.
