Description
The Hibiscus syriacus 'Summer Ruffle' is a brand new American variety of Tree Mallow, attractive for its original and bright foliage, a beautifully variegated green-grey-blue with cream and white, and its particularly compact habit, ideally suited for small spaces and container gardening. Its long summer flowering has pretty mauve-pink corollas with a red centre and a small crumpled heart of petals, which adds to its unique charm. This fantastic shrub deserves a special place near the house, as a focal point in a perennial border, and in a beautiful pot on the terrace. This Tree Mallow is easy to grow in non-scorching sun or partial shade, in slightly moist soil, and in all climates.
The Hibiscus syriacus, also known as the Rose Mallow, is a shrub that grows well in our climate. It belongs to the mallow family, which also includes hollyhocks and marshmallows. It is originally from Asia and has many varieties, including the Summer Ruffle, found in a Michigan nursery.
The Summer Ruffle is a small shrub with unique leaves mixed with green, white, and cream colours. It has rounded, bushy growth not exceeding 1.20 m (3 ft 11 in) in all directions and blooms from July to September with lavender-pink flowers. This plant likes bright, warm conditions and can tolerate light shade in warm areas. It only needs a little maintenance and should be planted in moist soil until summer ends to support its foliage and flowering.
The Summer Ruffle is not a delicate plant and can be grown in all regions, especially in small gardens. It pairs well with other shrubs like lavender and salvia. It can also be grown in containers on a terrace or balcony.

Planting and care
To grow a Hibiscus syriacus 'Summer Ruffle', plant it in spring or autumn in well-drained, loose, and fertile soil in a sunny spot or in partial shade in southern regions. Add compost and sand to your garden soil to improve its quality before planting. After planting, water generously. It's normal for this bush not to start growing vegetation before May.
Although altheas can tolerate heat and occasional dry soil, they thrive more in soil that retain moisture in summer. To keep the soil moist, you may need to mulch the base of these bushes.

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).
