Fully hardy, easy to grow, free-flowering – there are so many reasons to grow Hibiscus syriacus ‘Purple Ruffles’. One of the UK’s favourite shrub plants, hibiscus are fully hardy despite their tropical appearance, making them amazing for borders and patio pots. Providing colour and foliage almost the whole year, double blooms are purple-red and even triple in some cases. Hibiscus syriacus ‘Purple Ruffles’ is worth the wait late into the season for colour. Height: 3m (10′). Spread: 2m (6′).
Growing Information
Grow Hibiscus on rich fertile, reliably moist, well drained soil, in full sun. When growing hibiscus plants in patio containers use a soil based compost, such as John Innes No.3.
