Starburst (Clerodendrum quadriloculare) is a member of the mint family. Its preferred common name is bronze-leaved clerodendrum, but it is also known internationally as starburst, starburst bush, shooting star, firecracker, and fireworks. It is native to New Guinea and the Philippines and has become established on islands in the Pacific Ocean, as well as in Hawaii, Singapore, and Puerto Rico. On these islands, it grows commonly along roadsides and on vacant lands. Lucid Central lists its distribution to North America and the Caribbean as restricted. Plant specsClerodendrum quadriloculare is a fast grower for sun to partial shade. It does well in a dappled sun area and will flower more heavily on the side of the plant that gets the most light.You can keep it about 8 to 10 feet in tree or shrub form, or let it get larger if you prefer (it can get 15 feet or more). Grow clerodendrum quadriloculare in Zone 10. In Zone 9B you can use it as a container plant that you can bring in during winter cold snaps. Plant careAdd top soil or organic peat moss and composted cow manure to the hole when you plant. To grow more tree-like, snip off shoots around the base of the plant and keep the main trunk cleaned off Remove root runners as soon as you see them, unless you want a forest of clerodendrum quadriloculare. A pruning or two a year should help keep clerodendrum bushy and full.The plant can look shabby after a cold winter but will flush out again in spring.Do a hard pruning after the spring bloom, if you like, to keep the size in check and encourage full lush growth.You can cut it back again in fall (before October) as well if it needs it. Water on a regular basis.Fertilize 3 times a year - in spring, summer, and autumn - with a good granular fertilizer. You can supplement feedings with bone meal to promote heavier spring bloom. Fertilizer that I include as an option is an excellent choice for professional growers or nurseries if you grow plant in a pot. I personally use it for all my plants. It has polymer coating to allow slow release during 8-9 months evenly. You don't have to worry about repotting the plant for about 1 year or worry about burning plant with your regular over the counter fertilizer. You need about 3-4oz per 3 gal pot or 4-5oz per 5 gal pot.
