Blue Chiffon Hibiscus

Blue Chiffon Hibiscus is a deciduous flowering shrub admired for lavender-blue summer blooms, ruffled centers, upright growth, and long-lasting late-season color. This Rose of Sharon brings height, texture, and pollinator-friendly beauty to sunny borders, hedges, foundation plantings, and mixed shrub beds.

Why choose Blue Chiffon Hibiscus?

Choose Blue Chiffon Hibiscus for its unusual blue-toned flowers and dependable summer-to-fall display. Its large, semi-double blooms have a soft, lacy center that gives each flower a refined, layered look. The shrub’s upright habit makes it useful as a specimen, flowering hedge, privacy accent, or back-of-border focal point. It is especially valuable for adding bold color later in the season, when many other flowering shrubs have already finished blooming.

Key Characteristics

Botanical Name: Hibiscus syriacus ‘Notwoodthree’ BLUE CHIFFON®
Common Name: Blue Chiffon Hibiscus, Blue Chiffon Rose of Sharon
Plant Type: Deciduous shrub
Growth Habit: Upright, rounded, multi-stemmed shrub

Blue Chiffon Hibiscus Additional Information

Blue Chiffon Hibiscus blooms from summer into early fall, producing large lavender-blue flowers with ruffled, petal-like centers that create a soft anemone-style appearance. The blooms appear on new wood and attract pollinators such as butterflies and hummingbirds. Its dark green foliage provides a clean backdrop through the growing season, helping the cool-toned flowers stand out in sunny landscape designs.

This shrub is deciduous, dropping its leaves in winter and returning with fresh growth in spring. It is well suited for flowering hedges, privacy screens, mixed shrub borders, foundation plantings, cottage gardens, and sunny specimen locations. Blue Chiffon Hibiscus can be pruned in early spring to shape the plant, encourage sturdy branching, or manage size. Because it flowers on new growth, spring pruning fits naturally with its bloom cycle.

Planting & Care

1. Planting: Plant Blue Chiffon Hibiscus in full sun with average, well-drained soil. Set the root ball level with the surrounding soil, backfill firmly, and water thoroughly after planting.

2. Watering: Keep soil evenly moist during the first growing season while roots establish. Once established, provide water during extended dry periods, especially in hot, sunny sites or sandy soils.

3. Mulching: Apply a 2–3 inch layer of mulch around the root zone to conserve moisture, moderate soil temperature, and reduce weed competition. Keep mulch slightly away from the stems.

4. Pruning: Prune in early spring before new growth begins. Light shaping, thinning, or size control can help maintain a strong upright form and encourage fresh flowering stems.
