Hibiscus is renowned for being one of the most colourful and exotic hardy deciduous shrubs, and the French Cabaret series sets a new benchmark in this category. French Cabaret features large, thickly ruffled pompom flowers that resemble double carnations. These sterile blooms concentrate their energy on producing an abundance of flowers from July to October. The self-cleaning flowers drop off the bush when spent, making way for new buds to quickly take their place. Hibiscus syriacus ‘French Cabaret Red’ displays dark red buds that unfurl into vibrant magenta-red flowers. This variety is easy to cultivate in free-draining soil and is tolerant of chalk, becoming drought-resistant once established. It develops into an upright bush, making it perfect for use as a border shrub, container feature, or informal hedge. Height: 2.5m (8ft). Spread: 1.5m (5ft). Supplied as 1 x potted plant in 9cm nursery grow pot.
