Hibiscus syriacus 'Oiseau Bleu'

SKU:
CA$0.00
Unavailable
per item

Common name: Rose of Sharon, Korean rose


Hibiscus syriacus ‘Oiseau Bleu’ or ‘Blue Bird’, with its large trumpet-shaped violet-blue flowers and burgundy centres, has been planted as a loose hedge on the periphery of the Meditation Garden. It starts blooming in mid-summer and goes until mid-fall. Each flower lasts a day. It is native to China but was widely introduced elsewhere in the world and was collected from gardens in Syria, hence the species name. It is also the national flower of Korea, and our shrubs nod across the path to the Korean Garden.
