Hibiscus Syriacus ‘Woodbridge’

One of the later flowering varieties, this RHS AGM winning, deciduous shrub comes into flower when others are looking tired, featuring large, trumpet-shaped deep-pink flowers of 8cm (3in) across, with red centres from late summer to mid-autumn. The upright branches bear handsome, three lobed, dark-green leaves with an exotic feel to the entire plant, but is just at home in a herbaceous border as it is in a tropical-style garden. For Hibiscus syriacus ‘Woodbridge’ to flower well, we recommend planting in full sun and praying for a long hot summer to increase the flower yield! Height & Spread: 2.5m (8′).

Culinary note: The flowers can be infused to make a mildly citrus flavoured tea. The petals can be cut and added to fruit salads too. For more details about edible flowers click here.

Plant height and spread is seasonal therefore we list by pot size rather than a defined plant size. The height and spread of the plant delivered will vary depending on the season, meaning arrival images are an indication only.
