Hibiscus syriacus Magenta Chiffon ('Rwoods5') (PBR) (Chiffon Series)
tree hollyhock
The latest of the new 'Chiffon' hibiscus, this has been bred by Roderick Woods in Norfolk, and it has wonderful reddish pink flowers, each packed with lots of slightly ruffled petals that create a slightly frilly effect. The flowers appear late in the season, which makes this resilient deciduous shrub perfect for continuing the display in the shrub border well into autumn.
How to care for Hibiscus syriacus Magenta Chiffon ('Rwoods5') (PBR) (Chiffon Series):
To encourage a bushy habit prune young plants hard in late spring. After pruning apply a generous 5-7cm mulch of well-rotted garden compost or manure around the base of the plant. Once established it requires little if any regular pruning.
