Description
Hibiscus rosa-sinensis 'Cile Tinney' is an evergreen shrub renowned for its charming salmon-coloured double flowers. The medium to large blooms feature delicate creamy rose-pink petals with a vivid hot pink centre, complemented by ruffled edges and a prominent central crest. The glossy, dark green foliage provides an attractive backdrop to the vibrant flowers. In Perth's climate, 'Cile Tinney' thrives outdoors, making it ideal for garden beds, informal hedges, or as a feature plant. It typically reaches heights of 2 – 3 M and widths of 1.5 – 2 M.
To ensure optimal growth and flowering, plant 'Cile Tinney' in a position that receives full sun, with well-drained, fertile soil. Regular watering is essential, particularly during the warmer months, to maintain consistent soil moisture without waterlogging. Applying a balanced, slow-release fertiliser in early spring (Djilba) and again in early summer (Birak) will support vigorous growth and prolific blooming. Light pruning after the main flowering period encourages a bushy habit and removes any dead or damaged branches. Mulching around the base of the plant helps retain soil moisture and regulate temperature. Be vigilant for common pests such as aphids and hibiscus beetles; regular monitoring and appropriate treatments will help maintain the plant's health.
