Description

If you crave bold summer colour that stops people in their tracks, this Hibiscus 'Chiffon' Collection delivers! Three hardy varieties - lavender, pink and blue - each produce huge double blooms up to 13cm wide, packed with petals.

Flowering from mid-summer into early autumn, these shrubs arrive just as early season colour begins to fade, injecting fresh energy into beds and borders. They grow into strong, upright plants adding valuable height and structure to the garden.

Unlike tropical hibiscus, these are fully hardy in the UK. They cope confidently with British weather and return reliably each year. 'Blue Chiffon' even carries the RHS Award of Garden Merit, due to its outstanding garden performance.

Ideal for sunny borders or large patio containers, they are remarkably straightforward to maintain. A simple prune in early spring keeps them tidy and encourages fresh flowering growth.

Supplied as a set of three established plants in 3 litre pots, 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!
