Hibiscus syriacus 'Blue Bird'


Hibiscus syriacus 'Blue Bird' (Hibiscus syriacus 'Oiseau Bleu')

This hasn't flowered since 2011, so I'm really pleased that it has lots of buds this year.

Me too - it seems that Hibiscus need sunshine and warmth to flower. I have another one called 'White Chiffon' which hasn't flowered for three years, but it has buds this year. :-))

If I get a big enough greenhouse! I could grow one inside.

They are hardy, Karen. Not like the ones I saw in Italy!

Yes, I know! but there's never enough warmth to get them in flower before October here...then the frost gets them. This year would have been a good one though...but I expect we'll be waiting another 30 years for another summer. ;)

You're right, K. My 'White Chifffon' managed one flower this year, the first since it was planted several years ago.

I remember seeing them all in full bloom in the Dordogne in July some years ago. What a sight they were! I love France! :))

No contest - Italy for us! :-)))) Every garden seemed to have them, and they were planted along the roads, too.
