{"title":"Hibiscus syriacus — Rose of Sharon","description":"\u003cp\u003eHibiscus syriacus, known as rose of Sharon or shrub althea, is the shrub that blooms when others run out of steam: from July to September it is covered in large cup-shaped flowers in blue, lavender, magenta, pink or white, often marked with a darker eye. Unlike the tropical indoor hibiscus, rose of Sharon is fully hardy: it withstands frost, drops its leaves in winter and regrows vigorously every spring.
