Hibiscus
'Magenta Chiffon'
double rose of Sharon
Hibiscus 'Magenta Chiffon' is a vivacious burst of colour just when the garden needs it most. Each fully double, dark pink bloom of Hibiscus 'Magenta Chiffon' is lavishly filled with gently ruffled petals that lend a delightfully frilly texture. The flowers appear late in the season, keeping the garden lively and colourful well into autumn. Set against deep green, lobed leaves, the blooms of Hibiscus 'Magenta Chiffon' stand out brilliantly, bringing warmth and exuberance to borders, mixed plantings, or even large containers on the patio.
As it grows, Hibiscus 'Magenta Chiffon' forms a strong, bushy shrub—resilient, handsome and floriferous from late summer through the cooling days of autumn. Reaching around 2m in height, Hibiscus 'Magenta Chiffon' provides a sturdy framework of interest and colour that feels both generous and refined. This double-flowered rose of Sharon has a natural poise, offering tropical flair without the fuss, and an easy reliability that makes it a joy for gardeners and pollinators alike. If your borders are craving a late-season encore, Hibiscus 'Magenta Chiffon' delivers it with exuberant, rosy grace.

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.
