Product Description
Create a fabulous exotic look to your garden or patio, with our glorious hardy Hibiscus 'Marina Blue' standard lollipop from tree - years of fabulous late Summer floral displays from this ever so easy to grow tree.
Despite looking very exotic, with the huge blue flowers, they are very tough and hardy indeed. You can therefore plant this in the garden with confidence, for stunning displays for many years to come. Grow it in a warm, sunny spot for the longest lasting and biggest displays - they can be hungry feeders, so give them plenty of feed as they come back into leaf and set buds.

Plant Information
Top Tips
To ensure plenty of flowers, Hibiscus appreciates being planted in a sunny position, sheltered from strong winds.
Care Guide
- Grow in a sheltered spot in full sun with a humus-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.
- 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 them 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!

I ordered two standard blue Hibiscus trees in 3L pots after being told by local nurseries they are not available until June. They were delivered within the stated date and was well boxed to support both trees. The trees are currently inside and now showing lovely young shoots. These will be planted out and be part of a small flower memorial garden . Would consider Garden Bargains for any further plants and trees.

As ever a good service from GardenBargains. I can't recommend them highly enough.

The plant was okay but some of the leaves were a little yellow. Not the usual standard from GardenBargains but still good quality. It seems to be doing well in its new pot and I can't wait for it to bloom.
