Hibiscus syriacus MAGENTA CHIFFON 'RWOODS5'
All the charm of the CHIFFON range with violet-magenta flowers
Magenta CHIFFON has all the characteristics of the celebrated range of Chiffon hibiscus: an abundant summer flowering of large double chiffon-centred flowers which open up completely. It adds a splash of violet-red magenta to the garden and continues flowering to the end of summer. A vigorous, well branched shrub, it requires spring pruning. Good results can equally be had whether grown in containers or in the ground.

Hibiscus from the CHIFFON range
Varieties in the CHIFFON range, with partially petaloid flowers around 10 centimeters in diameter, have a "silk chiffon" appearance (CHIFFON in English) that gives the plant elegance and lightness.
Faded flowers do not remain on the plant, but fall off. Identical in earliness to single-flowered Hibiscus, these selections flower abundantly in summer, making them particularly ornamental in summer.
Vigorous, these hibiscus, 2 to 3 meters high and 1 to 2 meters in diameter, have the advantage of a branched habit.
