Botanical nameHibiscus syriacus

Hibiscus syriacus ‘Aphrodite’ is an elegant and highly floriferous ornamental shrub, prized for its large, soft pink flowers with deep red centers that bring an exotic touch to the garden. This variety has an upright and well-structured habit, ideal for flowering hedges, mass planting, or as a specimen plant. Its bright green deciduous foliage perfectly highlights the abundant summer blooming, which extends over a long period and attracts numerous pollinating insects. Low-maintenance and easy to care for, this hibiscus tolerates heat, moderate drought, and urban conditions well. Well-suited to Quebec's climate, ‘Aphrodite’ prefers a sunny exposure and well-drained soil to fully express its ornamental potential. It is an excellent choice for adding color, structure, and lasting summer interest to the garden.
