This is a beautiful hibiscus shrub with double blooms of a pink to lavender colour that are being produced repeatedly from around mid-summer into autumn. It is growing to about 1.5m and can be planted in a shrub border, or as a small informal hedge. Growing Details: Common Name: Rose of Sharon Genus: Hibiscus Species: Syriacus Lavender Chiffon Skill Level: Beginner Exposure: Full sun Hardiness: Hardy Soil type: Well-drained/light, Moist, Chalk, Clay, Sand, Loam Height: 1.5m Spread: 1.5m Description: Hibiscus syriacus is a hardy deciduous shrub. The flowers are often pink in color, but can also be dark pink (almost purple), light pink or white. Individual flowers are short-lived, lasting only a day. However, numerous buds are produced on the shrub's new growth, and this provides prolific flowering over a long summer blooming period.
