Hibiscus syr. 'White Chiffon'

Hibiscus syriacus 'White Chiffon' is a medium-sized deciduous shrub with decorative mid-green to dark green coarse-toothed, palmate leaves and a bushy, upright habit. Flowering starts in mid-summer with large pure white, double flowers and continues until the end of October. This garden hibiscus does very well in a position with slightly filtered sunlight, but it also thrives in full sun and partial shade. It is not fussy about the type of soil, tolerates air pollution well and is resistant to sea wind. The hibiscus syriacus has few problems with diseases and vermin, is hardy and can be used as a solitary or in the mixed border.
