Hibiscus syriacus French Cabaret® Pink ('Mindoup17') (PBR)
tree hollyhock
Bring summer colour to late-season gardens with Hibiscus syriacus French Cabaret Pink, a vigorous shrubby hollyhock bursting with large, double pink pom-pom flowers from July to October. Its sterile blooms put all the energy into flowering, giving weeks of reliable colour without self-seeding.
Upright and densely branched, it works brilliantly as a flowering hedge, a standout shrub, or in a large container, for cottage garden-themed borders. Deeply lobed green leaves create a lush backdrop for the blooms and turn soft yellow in autumn for added seasonal interest.
This hardy shrub thrives in full sun and well-drained soil, coping well with dry or chalky conditions once established. Maintenance is modest, once established, just occasional pruning to keep its tidy shape and encourage even more flowering.

How to care for Hibiscus syriacus French Cabaret® Pink ('Mindoup17') (PBR):
Plant in a sheltered, sunny location with moist, fertile soil. While they can tolerate some dryness, consistent moisture will encourage lush growth and abundant blooms.
If growing them in large containers, protect the roots from harsh winter conditions by wrapping pots and plants using horticultural fleece or move to a sheltered spot such as a southerly facing wall.
Mulch the base of border plants with a dry material like bark chips to insulate the roots and prevent frost damage. Regularly remove spent blooms to prolong flowering.
Pruning should be done in late winter or early spring, before new growth emerges. Prune back to strong, healthy buds to encourage new growth and shape the plant. Removing old and damaged wood will also help to improve air circulation and reduce the risk of disease.
