Description

Bring bold late season colour into your garden with this striking new addition to the range of chiffon Hibiscus. Large, fully double reddish pink blooms appear from late summer, each flower packed with layered petals that echo the look of classic old fashioned roses.

This hardy deciduous shrub forms an upright, tidy plant that fits beautifully into mixed borders, works as a stand alone specimen or can be incorporated into a flowering hedge or screen. Reaching around 2 to 2.5 metres tall, it adds height, structure and reliable impact at a time when many plants are slowing down.

The attractive lobed foliage keeps the plant looking fresh through the growing season, and once established it proves straightforward and dependable in UK gardens. If you want colour that carries your garden confidently into autumn, this variety delivers both style and substance.

Supplied as an established plant in a 3 litre pot, ready to plant.

Top Tips

To ensure plenty of flowers, plant in a sunny position, sheltered from strong winds.
Prune back two or three buds in the late winter months or early spring to encourage larger flowers the following summer - if the shrub is left unpruned, it will continue to produce blooms, but they will often be smaller in diameter.

Care Information

Hibiscus grows well in average soil and once estabished requires very little care - withstanding periods of drought. It also tolerates summer heat and humidity.
Grow in a sheltered spot in full sun with a hummus-rich moist soil, keep well-watered as these plants don't like to dry out.
Happy in a large container as long as you keep it well-watered and protect the crown with a dry mulch through the winter months.
Trim any dead or damaged growth each year in mid spring and remove faded flowers.
Hibiscus flower on the current season's growth, so pruning encourages the to flower prolifically.
Hibiscus can be bare of leaves right up until May, so don't think that your plant has expired - keep it well watered and it will burst into life when ready!
