Description
Blush-pink flowers with a clear red blotch make Hibiscus syriacus Hamabo easy to recognize from summer into fall. The large single blooms sit against strongly lobed green leaves on a bushy deciduous shrub.
Its upright, spreading growth can form a flowering hedge, anchor a sunny border, or fill a large patio container. A sheltered site in full sun and moist but well-drained soil supports flowering.
Water regularly during establishment and flowering. In late winter or early spring, remove weak, dead, wayward, or crossing branches to keep a healthy framework.
