The Hibiscus syriacus Summer Ruffle offers a stunning display of lilac flowers from mid-summer through autumn, along with striking variegated foliage featuring creamy white edges for extended visual appeal. While it has an exotic appearance, it’s remarkably easy to grow, making it an excellent choice for a dramatic shrub in a patio pot or garden border. This plant adds vibrant colour to the late-season garden when many other plants begin to fade. It fits perfectly in both cottage garden designs and tropical-inspired borders. Additionally, the flowers attract a variety of beneficial pollinators. Once established, it is drought-tolerant. Expect a height of 150-200 cm (59-78 inches) and a spread of 100 cm (39 inches). As plant size varies seasonally, we list it by pot size rather than a fixed plant dimension, meaning the height and spread of the delivered plant may differ from images, which are for reference only. Hibiscus syriacus ‘Summer Ruffle’ not only delivers weeks of showy lilac flowers from mid-summer to autumn but also has attractive variegated foliage with creamy white margins, providing interest for an even longer season. 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.
