Hibiscus syriacus 'Oiseau Bleu'

A late flowering shrub that comes into its own when others are looking tired. With its large trumpet-shaped, bright blue flowers with red centres, this hibiscus flourish from late summer to mid-autumn. This deciduous shrub has an exotic feel to it, but is just at home in a herbaceous border as it is in a tropical-style garden. It is best planted in a sunny spot as it does need a long, hot summer to flower well.
