Think the flower show is over? Not quite!

Seven-son flower (Heptacodium miconioides) blooms in the autumn, with clusters of white flowers that arrive just as many other plants are winding down for the season.

After the petals fall, the sepals don't. These leaf-like structures, which protected the flower before it opened, grow larger and shift from green to brilliant shades of pink and red as the fruit develops.

The result is a second act that can be every bit as eye-catching as the bloom itself. 🍂✨

Catch these 'late bloomers' before we close for our regular season October 18. Advance tickets recommended, plus you’ll save $4 per ticket when you purchase online!
