Gift-Ready｜Hibiscus mutabilis Rose Of Sharon Double Flower Form - Sold Out - Pre-Order for October 2026｜ Other Products

A wonderfully hardy form of Hibiscus mutabilis The Rose Of Sharon with full Double Flowers. Famous for its magical, colour-changing blooms, it produces large, ruffled, saucer-shaped flowers that open white in the morning, gradually shift to pink by midday, and deepen to dark red or pink by evening. The name mutabilis is Latin for "changeable”, describing the  colour transition of the flowers as the temperature and sunlight exposure changes through the day. Individual blooms last for only one day, but the plant continuously produces new flowers from summer all the way through autumn and in our case right into mid winter. 
This hibiscus can grow to reach 3 - 5m in height if left un-pruned. We however prune our plants regularly to keep them around 1.5m high and full of beautiful blooms!
They are know to be deciduous, but our plants retain their leaves and keep flowering right into mid winter. Only experiencing a few shorts weeks without leaves and flowers. Our above pictures have been taken in early winter. These hibiscus love full sun or part shade. They do like a rich soil if possible. So mix plenty of fertiliser such as EarthLife Flower Blend and compost in at planting. A regular water will keep them full and lush, and they are surprisingly tolerant of wet positions in the garden. They also tolerate our heat and drought at our nursery through our long hot dry summers. 
They make a fantastic flowering shrub, and one well worth growing in any garden. They can also be grown  in pots with a regular prune. Have you got a spot for one of these beautiful plants? 
We have beautiful plants currently available in 200mm pots in the nursery.
