Family Malvaceae

Hibiscus syriacus 'Hamabo' is a unique Japanese variety, renowned for its single, pale pink flowers with cherry-red centers, often streaked with darker lines, creating a delicate, painterly effect. It blooms generously from July through to autumn, against deciduous, light green foliage. Perfect for flowering hedges or as a stand-alone plant, it tolerates heat, drought, and shaping pruning well. 'Hamabo' is a poetic and original choice, ideal for bringing an Asian touch to the garden.
