Hibiscus syriacus ‘Mineru Eruption’ is a striking cultivar known for its vibrant and eye-catching blooms. This deciduous shrub, commonly referred to as Rose of Sharon, belongs to the Malvaceae family. Standing out from the crowd, producing large, showy flowers that typically measure 4-5 inches across, the petals are a deep red hue, creating a bold contrast against the lush green foliage. Thriving in full sunshine, in well-drained soil, the blooms are produced in mid to late summer, attracting bees, butterflies, and other pollinators with its nectar-rich flowers. A relatively low-maintenance shrub requiring occasional pruning to maintain its shape and encourage prolific flowering. A popular choice, Hibiscus syriacus ‘Mineru Eruption’ will reach a mature height of around 3m, spreading to 2m, and is hardy down to -15°C. Whether used as a focal point in a garden bed or planted as a hedge, this cultivar never fails to captivate with its radiant blooms.
