Absolutely the best blue Hibiscus we've ever seen! It's large, single, rich blue flowers are certain to draw attention. Superior to 'Blue Bird' which is a weak growing plant that is notoriously mixed up in the market. Blue Satin® hibiscus is a strong growing, uniform clone with rich color. Hybridized by Rien Verweij of the Netherlands. 

AWARDS: Award of Recommendation Royal Boskoop Horticulture Society.

Hibiscus syriacus ‘Marina’  pp#12680 - BLUE SATIN®
