Hibiscus syriacus 'Coelestis'
CATALOGUE DESCRIPTION
Erect bushy shrub with tall upright branches. Dark green trilobed leaves, these tend to emerge very pale, turning dark as the season warms. Many wide pale violet single flowers with rose at the base throughout the summer and autumn. They flower on current seasons wood, so best to prune or thin out the branches if necessary after flowering. Very easy care. They like a sunny site for best flowering with well drained soil, the better the soil the more lush the growth. Great for summer colour.
