Hibiscus syriacus 'Diana'
Shrub Althea, Rose of Sharon
| Many varieties in many colors and sizes. The large showy flowers come in shades of golden, pink, rose, yellow and orange, at times with colorful markings or double-petals. Some flowers grow to 1 foot across. The state flower of Hawaii, the tropical Chinese Hibiscus is often grown in containers. All are heat-loving and flower during the warmest months of the year. Prune to control shape and fertilize monthly during the growing season. Protect from wind. Insects and diseases can cause problems. |
Introduced by the United States National Arboretum, this exceptional hybrid is a triploid with large, pure white flowers that do not close at night. There are few seed pods, so the plant puts more energy into flowering.
