   BLUE SATIN™       Rose of Sharon
 

 

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 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®

A tremendous improvement in hardy Hibiscus.  Strong growing plants with lots of large, brightly colored blooms, the SATIN® hibiscus are clearly superior to older, weaker varieties. Much more vigorous than older varieties.

BLUE SATIN® is by far the best blue on the market.  The deep, rich color and large flowers are showier than those of other blue varieties.
