Hibiscus 'Blue Satin'

‘Blue Satin’ Hibiscus (Hibiscus syriacus ‘Blue Satin’). The Hibiscus syriacus ‘Blue Satin’® is a spectacular ornamental variety, offering prolonged flowering of deep blue single flowers with a purplish heart, very attractive to pollinators. Its bushy and dense habit is perfect for hedges, sunny flowerbeds, or as a standalone plant. Hardy and drought-tolerant, it adapts easily to many types of well-drained soils. ‘Blue Satin’® is a sophisticated choice for those seeking intense blooms in a structural shrub. The indicated adult size is 2 to 3 m (6 to 10 feet) in height and 2.5 m (8 feet) in width.

To plant ‘Blue Satin’ hibiscus, choose a suitable exposure: full sun. The recommended soil is: neutral to slightly alkaline, well-drained. Water the root ball before planting and ensure water can drain after planting. During establishment, check moisture by hand before watering again. Spread mulch around the base, leaving the collar clear. Avoid systematic fertilization 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 this plant's space in the garden. The indicated height of 2 to 3 m (6 to 10 feet) helps in choosing 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. Potted roots are more exposed to cold than those planted in the ground.
