Hibiscus syriacus Eruption - Rose of Sharon

<p class="western">Hibiscus is a beautiful bush with an exotic appearance that captivates with its <b>magnificent</b> <b>flowering</b> <b>in corollas</b>. Ephemeral, its stunning flowers only last a day, but they continuously renew themselves, providing a perpetual display from July to October.</p> <p class="western">The numerous species and varieties of hardy hibiscus offer an <b>extraordinary palette of colours, ranging from pure white to purple, including pink and bright red</b>. The delicate petals generally surround a colourful heart, giving them a very tropical style that rivals their cousin from the islands, <i>Hibiscus rosa-sinensis</i>.</p> <p class="western">Hardy down to -15°C, <b>hardy hibiscus or altheas</b> (<i>H. syriacus</i> and <i>H. paramutabilis</i>) <strong>easily settle in all our regions, provided their roots are kept cool.</strong> They look wonderful as a solitary specimen in the middle of a short grass meadow, but can also be integrated into a flowering hedge or a summer border.</p> [caption id="attachment_44546" align="aligncenter" width="1172"]<img class="size-full wp-image-44546" src="https://www.promessedefleurs.com/blogwp/wp-content/uploads/2018/06/fleur-dhibiscus.jpg" alt="Hibiscus in flower" width="1172" height="780" /> Stunning flower of <em>Hibiscus syriacus</em>.[/caption] <p class="western">A little less hardy (down to -10°C), <b>marsh hibiscus</b> (<i>H. moscheutos</i> and <i>H. coccineus</i>) <strong>prefer moist, even waterlogged soils.</strong> Their lushness will be perfectly highlighted at the edge of a pond, but also in a pot kept well-watered, bringing a touch of the islands to a terrace or balcony.</p> <p class="western"><b>All hibiscus indeed grow very well in pots</b>, a cultivation method that offers the advantage of being able to winter them out of frost in regions with particularly cold winters.</p> <p class="western"><b>Easy to care for</b>, <strong>hardy hibiscus require little maintenance.</strong> In sufficiently cool or moist soil, depending on the species, they develop harmoniously until October. Pruning is recommended during the dormant phase but remains optional. The hibiscus then reappears in spring, sometimes a bit lazily, to offer a profusion of delicate and colourful flowers from July, creating an exotic decor that leaves no one indifferent!</p>
