Hibiscus syriacus is commonly known as Chinese hibiscus or Syrian hibiscus. It is an upright, branched shrub with dark green, deciduous foliage and serrated margins.

Features

The Chinese hibiscus is a summer-flowering plant, but it is also a very hardy and easy-to-grow shrub. This ornamental plant is perfect for creating flowering hedges or for being grown as a small tree. The Chinese hibiscus can be grown both in the ground and in pots.

HIBISCUS SYRIACUS AND THE FAR EAST: HISTORY AND CURIOSITIES

The scientific name of Hibiscus syriacus is based on an error: it was believed that the plant originated in Syria, since it had been spotted in some gardens there. In reality, the hibiscus plant had been imported from Asia, and today there is agreement that Hibiscus syriacus is native to the Far East.

Hibiscus syriacus is the national flower of South Korea, depicted on the national emblem since 1963. South Korea's national anthem mentions this flower as a symbol of the Nation itself: the Korean name of the plant refers directly to the word mugung, which means "eternity" or "inexhaustible abundance". For this reason, the country's presidential emblem features the hibiscus flower flanked by two phoenixes, symbols of rebirth and thus of eternal life.

Gift a prolonged summer bloom, from June to October, composed of large single flowers with 5 petals in colors ranging from white to pink-lilac and even purple.

Very hardy and easy-to-grow shrub, grown in full sun or partial shade, both in the ground and in pots. It tolerates temperatures around -10°C and is highly salt-tolerant: ideal for flowering hedges or grown as a small tree.

WHAT MAKES OUR PLANTS DIFFERENT

Long anti-spiraling vases

A traditional lawn is a fragile monoculture: it drinks thousands of liters of water every summer, needs mowing every week, and turns yellow as soon as you neglect it. An alternative lawn turns this logic on its head: instead of grasses, we use Mediterranean groundcovers selected in our nursery—low, dense, and hardy plants, born for hot and dry climates.

The result is a green, walkable carpet that blooms for months, withstands drought, salt spray, and frost, and reduces watering and maintenance by 80%. It is not an aesthetic compromise: it is a more beautiful, more vibrant lawn that is more honest with the environment.
