This mixed selection of Hibiscus syriacus, commonly known as Rose of Sharon, offers a variety of cultivars chosen for their spectacular summer flowers and reliable garden performance. Flower colour and form will vary depending on the variety supplied and may include shades of white, pink, mauve, blue or purple, with single or semi-double blooms.

Soil
Grow in fertile, well-drained soil enriched with organic matter. Avoid sites that remain waterlogged during winter.
Pruning
Prune in late winter or early spring by removing weak or damaged stems and lightly shaping the shrub. Flowers are produced on the current season's growth.
