Rose of Sharon
My 'Rose of Sharon' double variegated hibiscus.
'Hibiscus syriacus'
In the garden at Castle Hill.
North-western Sydney.
'Hibiscus syriacus' belongs to the mallow family of plants (Malvaceae) and is native to south-central and southeast China, but widely introduced elsewhere, including much of Asia. It was given the name 'syriacus' because it had been originally collected from gardens in Syria
