After an initial 'defective' young plant and excellent management by PdF, the new young plant is completely satisfactory and, despite being planted late, is currently producing beautiful flowers.

Description
Hibiscus syriacus 'Éléonore' is a recent variety with good vigour compared to other white-flowered varieties. This beautiful variety is also very floriferous, offering large single, pure white flowers from July to September. If the weather is mild, the flowers will continue blooming into autumn. This bush is not afraid of cold, limestone, or dry soils once well established. Easy to plant with other shrubs to create a flowery hedge or a border, it is really easy to grow in the sun, in all regions.
Hibiscus syriacus, sometimes called Garden Hibiscus, is a hardy deciduous shrub in our climates, but evergreen in warm climates. It belongs to the Malvaceae family, just like hollyhocks and marshmallows. It is native to temperate regions of Asia (China, India), and has given rise to numerous cultivars including 'Éléonore', which stands out for its healthy and vigorous growth, and abundant single flower blooms. 'Éléonore' forms an upright bush 2 m (6.6 ft) tall and 1.50 m (4.9 ft) wide, with erect branches. It is of fairly rapid growth. It blooms for a long time if the weather remains mild, and its ephemeral flowers that fade in 24 hours are continuously renewed until October. They are 10 cm (3.9 in) wide, and composed of pure white petals arranged around a white throat. Its foliage is very healthy, bright green, slightly shiny, and turns yellow in autumn. The leaves are alternate, simple, heart-shaped and lobed; their edge is toothed and undulate.
'Éléonore' appreciates bright, warm exposures, and is satisfied with a light shade in warmer regions. This hibiscus requires no maintenance, and grows slowly but steadily in the first few years. Shelter it from strong winds and plant in soil that remains slightly moist until the end of summer. This ornamental variety of great value can be used in a medium-sized hedge, alongside other hibiscus with different colours and buddleias. It works well as a standalone plant or at the back of a perennial border composed of dwarf conifers, asters, or shrubby salvias for example. Its modest size allows it to be grown in a large pot and in a nutrient-rich substrate, so you can fully enjoy its flowering on a terrace or balcony.

Planting and care
Plant in spring or autumn, in a sunny position, or in partial shade in warmer regions. Choose well-drained, loose, but fertile soil. Dig a nice deep planting hole and add some compost and sand to your garden soil to improve its quality if necessary. Water generously after planting. Don't worry if the vegetation doesn't start before May; it's completely normal for this bush.
While hibiscus can tolerate heat and occasionally dry soils, they are more beautiful and more floriferous in a soil that retains moisture in summer. Mulch the base of these bushes generously if needed.

Hardiness is the lowest winter temperature a plant can endure without suffering serious damage or even dying. However, hardiness is affected by location (a sheltered area, such as a patio), protection (winter cover) and soil type (hardiness is improved by well-drained soil).
The flowering period indicated on our website applies to countries and regions located in USDA zone 8 (France, the United Kingdom, Ireland, the Netherlands, etc.)
It will vary according to where you live:- In zones 9 to 10 (Italy, Spain, Greece, etc.), flowering will occur about 2 to 4 weeks earlier.
- In zones 6 to 7 (Germany, Poland, Slovenia, and lower mountainous regions), flowering will be delayed by 2 to 3 weeks.
- In zone 5 (Central Europe, Scandinavia), blooming will be delayed by 3 to 5 weeks.
In temperate climates, pruning of spring-flowering shrubs (forsythia, spireas, etc.) should be done just after flowering.
Pruning of summer-flowering shrubs (Indian Lilac, Perovskia, etc.) can be done in winter or spring.
In cold regions as well as with frost-sensitive plants, avoid pruning too early when severe frosts may still occur.
The planting period indicated on our website applies to countries and regions located in USDA zone 8 (France, United Kingdom, Ireland, Netherlands).
It will vary according to where you live:
- In Mediterranean zones (Marseille, Madrid, Milan, etc.), autumn and winter are the best planting periods.
- In continental zones (Strasbourg, Munich, Vienna, etc.), delay planting by 2 to 3 weeks in spring and bring it forward by 2 to 4 weeks in autumn.
- In mountainous regions (the Alps, Pyrenees, Carpathians, etc.), it is best to plant in late spring (May-June) or late summer (August-September).
The harvesting period indicated on our website applies to countries and regions in USDA zone 8 (France, England, Ireland, the Netherlands).
In colder areas (Scandinavia, Poland, Austria...) fruit and vegetable harvests are likely to be delayed by 3-4 weeks.
In warmer areas (Italy, Spain, Greece, etc.), harvesting will probably take place earlier, depending on weather conditions.
The sowing periods indicated on our website apply to countries and regions within USDA Zone 8 (France, UK, Ireland, Netherlands).
In colder areas (Scandinavia, Poland, Austria...), delay any outdoor sowing by 3-4 weeks, or sow under glass.
In warmer climes (Italy, Spain, Greece, etc.), bring outdoor sowing forward by a few weeks.
