Large, single, white mallow-like flowers up to 12cm across with a lacy centre from August to October. This tree hollyhock is ideal towards the back of a sheltered, sunny border. Vigorous and easy to grow, it's one of the best varieties for cooler areas of the country, since the petals stand up well to wind and rain.
How to care for Hibiscus syriacus White Chiffon ('Notwoodtwo') (PBR) (Chiffon Series):
To encourage a bushy habit prune young plants hard in late spring. After pruning apply a generous 5-7cm mulch of well-rotted garden compost or manure around the base of the plant. Once established it requires little if any regular pruning.
Please note: the plant is supplied in a nursery pot, but if you do wish to pot it up for the patio we have a great range on our website.
