Clerodendron is the largest group of plant about 500 species and varieties within the Verbenaceae family.

Kleros in greek menaing :"chance" or "destiny" while dendron -trees. This plant is actually a scrub  but behave like a creeper. That is because its woody stem is not firm enough to support its flowering crown. Used to be widespread in household perimeter fencings. Now it very seldom seen.

The leaves of the plant can used for treatment of diabetic illness. Now I also read that that Plant is poisonous if ingested. That contradict the earlier line, but I suppose both statements made following different preparation or precaution.

The plant is best propagated by any type of cuttings or seeds.  Say, in a mixture of moist peat and perlite.
