An ideal focal point planting. This exceptional hardy hibiscus, often called Rose of Sharon, provides at least three months of spectacular color.

Hibiscus syriacus 'Blue Bird'
Hibiscus syriacus, also known as Rose of Sharon, is handy if you love the look of tropical flowers, but need something more reliable in a cold climate. Rose of Sharon is woody, and these hard stems won't die back in the winter, standing up to cold weather better. It's gorgeous architectural interest for a more formal landscape.
