Hibiscus syriacus 'Lucy'

Lucy Rose of Sharon

Hibiscus syriacus 'Lucy' has showy rose pink flowers up to 4'' in diameter. The flowers are doubles with extra petals that create a peony-like effect. This deciduous shrub stands 6-8 feet tall and blooms in mid-summer to fall but does not set seed. It is hardy in zones 5 – 8. When the species was named syriacus, it was thought to have originated in Syria, but it is actually native to China and India. Hibiscus syriacus is the national flower of Korea.
