Small Tree with a Huge Personality
You’ve never seen anything quite like the Temple of Bloom® Seven-Son Tree! This ornamental tree is incredibly unique, offering astounding interest and appeal during every season. In spring it begins showing off its dramatic, leathery veined green foliage and the leaves continue to grow as the season progresses. In late summer a show of blossoms begins, as clusters of bright white flowers pop up on every branch.
You’ll marvel at the number of pollinators who flock to your Temple of Bloom® for weeks on end! As the season winds down, the flowers fall and make way for vivid red, fan-like bracts, which give the impression that the entire plant is blooming again in a completely new color! Even as these bracts fade, your tree remains visually stunning throughout winter, thanks to the peeling, toasty-brown bark, which accentuates the tree’s silhouette.
No matter where you plant Temple of Bloom®, it will become the focal point of any landscape. Easy to care for, this outstanding plant cannot be matched when it comes to year-round beauty. It will thrive in full sun to partial shade, is not particular about soil, and requires no pruning. Order your own Temple of Bloom® Seven-Son Tree today!
Planting & Care
Planting: Select an area with well-drained soil and full sun to partial sun (4 to 6 hours of direct sunlight with some afternoon shade).
Dig a hole twice as wide as the diameter and as deep as your tree’s root ball. Place your tree, backfill the soil, and water to settle the tree’s roots. Finally, spread 3 to 4 inches of mulch over the planting site to conserve moisture.
Watering: During the first year, water your tree about once or twice weekly. If you’re not sure when to water, check the surrounding soil to about 3 inches down. If the soil is dry here, it’s time to water your tree.
Fertilizing: Temple of Bloom® does not need special fertilizing, but if you wish to encourage more growth, apply a granular fertilizer formulated for woody plants in early spring.
