Rose of Sharon

Really lemony this one...

Beautiful. Mine is not looking great at the moment. I'm hoping once the weather cools down it will pick up a little.

It is a lovely colour Crissue :o)

Hope the weather cools for you soon Alexandra, it does knock them the heat. We are wanting rain here, very dry again.

Oliveoil,
We are in for another week of heat waves!!! Can't be too long now....how I would love to see dark clouds and rain.

Us too...

Keep meaning to get this one.I have the hypericum hidcote which is just as pretty when it flowers.

That's a lovely one...great clear lemony yellow.

It is a real beauty this one Karen I love it, such big flowers too.

Rose I love these, the colours are amazing.

Hope we get some of the wet stuff soon, I could not cope with your heatwaves Crissue and Alexandra I would never get anything done I hate too much heat.

How big please? I am tempted now!

There are different size bushes this one is quite a small one, no bigger, at the moment, than 2ft tall, I have a taller one which i have now transplanted to the side of this one to fill in a gap, make sure you get the right one. Will try and find the label for you. Off to look now.

Got it! It is Hypericum x moserianum:

Description says:

A spreading semi-evrgreen shrub with arching branches of mid-green leaves. Clusters of large cup-shaped yellow flowers from summer to autumn. Max Height 30cm Max Spread 60cm. Flowers July to October. Fruits Septermber. Full sun/partial shade. Hardy. Back-fill with soil mixerd with peat substitute and a suitable fertilizer.

This is now about 60cm tall but not seeming to have grown much this summer, so I would say that is about as tall as it gets. Not partially evergreen in my garden so do not take that into account. But it certainly has large yellow flowers, very very pretty, well worth the space.

Hope you find one. x

Ok, thanks very much for that. At that height it might not 'fit' in to my garden just now...will have to have a think. It would be ok in the front, but that is pretty much full up now. Perhaps the area under the apple tree at the front, but that would mean shifting what's already there.....maybe I'll have to leave this one in your garden! :))

There are taller ones, just don't know their names, google them and see which, the flowers are basically all the same, yellow with various colours of leaves. You might find another you like you never know.

Generally I'm not keen to be honest....it was the big flowers on this one that tempted me!
