Hibiscus syriacus 'Woodbridge' is an exceptional Rose of Sharon cultivar with a clear pink single-form flower with a darker crimson centre. It flowers from July through to autumn at a time when many other shrubs have finished flowering. Like all Hibiscus syriacus cultivars, it doesn't produce its lobed foliage until very late in the Spring - just around the time you are starting to think it is dead, it suddenly leafs-up and rapidly puts on new growth and then flowers prolifically.
Exotic yet fully hardy.
