Heptacodium

Most gardens have at least one situation suitable for planting something particularly special-maybe in a lawn, a courtyard, or as a border feature. A tree is frequently chosen for this role, but a refreshing alternative is to consider a strong-growing shrub such as a heptacodium. Its large size makes it an impressive shrub and adds much character to the landscape or garden space. It's attractive peeling bark and bold foliage will keep you satisfied.
