Heptacodium miconioides Tianshan ('Minhep' PBR) is a compact, upright shrub that offers a bushy form, distinguishing it from standard varieties. In late summer, it produces highly fragrant flowers resembling jasmine, which are creamy white in color. These blooms are succeeded by calyxes that swell and develop a red hue, remaining visible until October. The bark of this plant is notable for its peeling nature, shedding in yellowish-brown flakes. Pruning lower branches can enhance the visibility of the textured bark.
