Hibiscus syriacus 'Oiseau Bleu' syn. Hibiscus syriacus 'Blue Bird'

Blue bird putting on a show despite the wind and rain

I have this one but it's still little, I hope it looks as good as yours eventually 💙💙

Three years old and four feet high Jane! I have a white one in the back that hasn’t grown at all and only ever has a couple of flowers on it strange isn’t it? @pelly

Very odd, I don’t know if mine will flower as I had to move it last year (twice) as I had it in the wrong place. It’s doing well now though 😍😍

My bluebird is flowering, so beautiful

They are beautiful plants 💙💜

Certainly are Jane, this is as tall as me now as I’m scared to prune it in case I kill it! @pelly

Oh, I would be too 😱😱

This is my favorite rose of Sharon

Yeah the blue bird is flowering despite all the rain (pity we're going away for two weeks)

Still looks lovely. Have a great time

Beautiful. Happy hols.

Calling all hibiscus growers ! I have succumbed and sent away for this blue hibiscus. It arrived at 6.30 but better late.... It's a bit yellow, I've given it a drink, what next? Do I plant it in the garden, put it in a pot? I live on Teesside so we do get frosts in the winter. Any advise greatly appreciated thanks.

I think I would be inclined to plant it . They do loose their leaves in winter so don't worry about the yellow leaves @joanboston 🐰

Thanks @debs69

Agree with Debs @joanboston

...ditto !! :)

Thanks girls.

And ditto

I'm sure you'll get it back to full strength @joanboston - it's going to look great next year. 😀

I bought it because of all the lovely ones I saw on here @richard.spicer.7906 so I hope I can live up to those!

Yes, GT has that effect - I've bought quite a few now after seeing others post their plants 😆
