Hibiscus syriacus Ultramarine 'Minultra'

Tight, upright stature, together with a fast growing habit makes this lavender-blue hibiscus one of the best blue varieties on the market. The flowers are fairly large and have a deep maroon blotch painted on the base of each petal, giving the overall colouring a bit of depth. Hibiscus syriacus Ultramarine 'Minultra' is a hardy, deciduous shrub which completes the colour range presented by other hibiscus varieties. Height: 3m (10'). Spread: 2m (6.5').Culinary note: The flowers can be infused to make a mildly citrus flavoured tea. The petals can be cut and added to fruit salads too.
