 DESCRIPTION
Rose-of-Sharon deserves more attention for its abundant flowering in mid summer. It comes from eastern Asia and is absolutely frost hardy. There have been a number of cultivars available since its discovery, they vary by bloom colours, shapes and sizes, they even have varigated foliage.
Totus Albus is a very elegant variety that bears large, 7-9 cm across, flowers of pure white colour, sometimes with dwarf lacy petals in the center. They come out reliably every year in July and don’t stop blooming until all buds have gone - sometimes by end September. Pruning is not needed. But if you clip max. one third of last year’s growth it will result in larger flower sizes. Hibiscus needs a sunny location and though it can withstand temporary droughts it is advisable to keep the soil moist for good foliage. Dislikes wet places where the roots may rot. Fully hardy.
