Unpack bare roots or rhizomes on arrival and plant them within a week. Until then, keep them somewhere cool and ensure the roots remain slightly moist, never wet.
'Flower Tower White'
tree mallow
Hibiscus 'Flower Tower White' brings a serene, architectural elegance to the garden—its pure white blooms radiating freshness and calm from midsummer to early autumn. Each flower opens like a perfect porcelain plate, luminous against glossy green foliage, and subtly veined with delicate texture. The blooms appear in generous succession, attracting pollinators while lending an air of quiet sophistication to any sunny border or terrace display. Compact in youth yet ambitious in form, a two-year-old Hibiscus 'Flower Tower White' typically reaches around a metre in height, already showing the promise of its statuesque maturity.
Unlike traditional rounded hibiscus varieties, Hibiscus 'Flower Tower White' grows with a graceful, pyramidal silhouette, eventually attaining around 3m tall and a modest 80cm wide. This slender profile makes it a superb choice for narrow borders, courtyard gardens or as a vertical accent in a mixed planting scheme. Its sculptural shape pairs beautifully with ornamental grasses, late-flowering perennials, and darker foliage plants that emphasise its luminous white blooms. Elegant, space-savvy, and irresistibly refined, tree mallow 'Flower Tower White' is a modern take on a tropical classic—proof that purity can be every bit as dramatic as colour.

Plant calendar
Remove the packaging straight away, check the compost and water thoroughly if dry. Check the plant’s hardiness before placing it outdoors. Plant into a border or permanent container within a month, choosing the position recommended for the variety. Keep the top of the root ball level with the surrounding soil, firm gently and water well.
Soak the roots in water for three to six hours immediately before planting. Keep any crown, buds or emerging shoots above the water where possible.
Pot most bare roots into 15–20cm pots filled with peat-free multipurpose compost. Large or depth-sensitive roots, including peonies, are often best planted directly into borders.
Arrange the roots naturally without bending them. Cover the roots completely, positioning the crown and buds at the depth recommended for that particular perennial.
Keep pots in a sheltered outdoor position and water whenever the compost begins to dry. Grow on until roots hold the compost together when lifted from the pot.
Plant into a suitable border or permanent container once well rooted. Add a label and water regularly throughout the first growing season while the perennial establishes.
