Product Description
No, your eyes are not deceiving you - this amazing hardy Hibiscus bush actually does have 3 gorgeous colours on the same plant and will stay that way too.
Hibiscuses are often propagated by grafting, and the clever nurserymen have grafted 3 individual different colours - blue, pink and white. Usually, our growers would graft 3 of the same colours, but in an experimental moment, they created this delightful result!
Quite cleverly, all 3 varieties have been selected carefully so they grow at similar rates, and no one colour will dominate the tree. This is a more reliable method than the sometimes offered 3 colours plaited together.
All that your Hibiscus will need from you is an annual trim to shape, and they will stay in this lovely mix for years.
Hibiscus syriacus is totally hardy in the UK, but thrives best in hot, sunny spots, and responds particularly well to heavy feeding, especially with a feed rich in trace elements.
Flowering in August and September, prepare to amaze your friends and neighbours with this horticultural wonder!
Supplied as an established plant in a 21cm pot, ready to plant out.

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!
