Hibiscus ‘Azurri Blue Satin’

Hibiscus ‘Azurri Blue Satin’ (Hibiscus syriacus ‘Azurri Blue Satin’). Hibiscus syriacus ‘Azurri Blue Satin’® is an exceptional summer-flowering shrub, producing large lavender-blue flowers with red centers that bloom from July until the first frosts. This sterile, seedless variety offers prolonged and clean flowering, ideal for flowering hedges, borders, or isolated plantings. Its dark green foliage remains dense and healthy throughout the season. Very hardy, easy to grow, and drought-tolerant once established, ‘Azurri Blue Satin’® is a remarkable choice for adding color and exoticism to the garden.

To plant Hibiscus ‘Azurri Blue Satin’, choose a suitable exposure: full sun. The recommended soil is neutral to slightly alkaline, well-drained. Water the root ball before planting and ensure that water can drain after planting. During establishment, check the moisture by hand before watering again. Spread mulch around the base, leaving the collar clear. Avoid systematic fertilizer applications without considering soil richness. In Quebec, choose a period when the soil is thawed and easy to work with.

Allow a width of 2.5 m (8 feet) to plan the placement of this plant in the garden. The indicated height of 2 to 3 m (6 to 10 feet) helps choose its position relative to neighboring plants. Maintain access to the base for weeding, checking moisture, and removing damaged parts. Combine this variety with plants whose light and water needs are compatible. If you are considering a container, first check that its volume and drainage are suitable for root development. Roots in pots are more exposed to cold than those planted in the ground.
