Hibiscus syriacus Marina (often called rose of Sharon) is a bushy, upright deciduous shrub valued for its late-summer display of violet-blue, single blooms with a contrasting eye. Best in full sun and a warm, sheltered spot, it thrives in fertile, moist but welldrained soil and will tolerate chalk. A reliable, hardy choice for Irish gardens, it brings vibrant colour to mixed borders and makes a fine standalone specimen, with a moderate growth rate and fresh green foliage that drops in winter.
To help give a clear sense of scale, the stone wall shown in our photos measures approximately 265cm in height. We also use familiar garden tools as visual references: a digging fork (110cm tall) and a hand fork (30cm tall). These are included purely as size guides to help you better judge proportions when viewing the images.
