Description
Hibiscus 'Summer Sensations Double Blushing Pink' is a charming, compact shrub with fully double, soft pink flowers. These blooms feature intricate layers of petals, creating a ruffled appearance that adds elegance to garden beds and borders. This cultivar's exact species origin is unknown, but its characteristics strongly suggest it is a variety of Hibiscus syriacus. The plant is deciduous, shedding its leaves in Makuru (Winter) to prepare for a spectacular display of flowers during Djilba and Kambarang (Early and Late Spring). Its compact size and showy blooms make it ideal for small gardens or as a feature in pots.
Best grown in full sun to part shade, Summer Sensations Double Blushing Pink thrives in well-drained soil with moderate water needs. Regular deadheading encourages more blooms, while a light prune after flowering keeps it tidy. Add fertiliser in early spring for vigorous growth and a stunning floral display. Tailored for Perth's climate, this hardy hibiscus is a standout choice for low-maintenance beauty.
