I am embarrassed to to admit that I had a gorgeous Pagoda in a container and recently, while we were having some shrubbery and a tree planted, I decided to put it in the ground. I figured it would get watered daily as the others would. Oops, it was in a different spot, kind of hidden beyond some larger shrubs (which were to be removed when the pagoda got going) and I completely forgot about it. It is dried up and crispy. Being a tough Clerodendron though it will probably return but maybe not this year.

I started with one 3 gallon plant. Now I have a hedge of it. The pagoda and the one that looks like a white rose on top? They have taken over the driveway by my greenhouse, the yard in front of my greenhouse, and they send runners under the greenhouse wall and I pull them out constantly inside the greenhouse. But they are beautiful so I haven't tried to completely remove them, just keep them contained in sone fashion.

Thank you I missed that, but thanks for letting me know.
Yep, it is very prolific, in fact could be invasive, but easy enough to spot and pull out plants you don't want. I am always willing to share if anyone wants some.
