Rose of Sharon - Blue Satin
Rose of Sharon - Blue Satin Rose of Sharon - Blue Satin, Hibiscus syriacus 'Marina' (PP12,680), is a vigorous, bloom-happy shrub. It not only gives you plenty of flowers, but boasts the most beautiful coloring in the Hibiscus world, and just doesn't know when to quit! Blue Satin has larger flowers, better color, more branching, and gives an all-around longer show. You'll love these huge 3-inch blooms, with magenta throats, and an ivory center that complements the strong royal blue tone of the petals. The flowers are very uniform in color, too -- no washed out end-of-season blooms here! A moderate grower, it's also pollution-tolerant. Rose of Sharon prefers full sun and well-drained soil and is very tolerant of heat and drought. It is a fine choice for hot, dry spots where other shrubs are not happy. Keep it well watered during growth. Blue Satin does best in full sun, but light shade is acceptable, especially in far southern or southwestern climates. One's ability to shape Rose of Sharon also makes the shrub a prime candidate for hedges. It is a profuse bloomer and not only blooms late, but leafs out late, as well. You will love the blue flowers with the magenta throat!
