The garden has long since transformed from a pure vegetable garden to a carefully designed living space in the countryside. As a flowering miracle, the hardy hibiscus is an enrichment to every garden. There are at least ten good reasons to permanently plant hibiscus in the garden.
Why is the hibiscus an asset to the garden?
The hibiscus is an exotic, flowering plant that gives every garden a South Sea flair. It is available in many colors, produces numerous flowers, can be planted as a solitary plant, in groups or hedges and requires little care with sufficient sun, water and nutrients.
1. Good choice for garden design
The garden marshmallow (rose marshmallow) welcomes you in the front garden with its splendor of flowers, it lures you into the back garden in the middle of a flowering hedge and shines on or next to the terrace. It enriches the Mediterranean garden, the English garden, the romantic garden and the rural garden anyway.
2. South Sea flair for the garden and terrace
The exotic flowers of the hibiscus in white, yellow, red, pink, violet and blue reflect summer and bring a South Sea flair to the garden. And with hibiscus plants in the pot, the holiday mood can quickly be conjured up on the terrace and balcony.
3. Flowers in large numbers
The hibiscus continues to develop new flowers over the course of weeks. As soon as one has fallen off, you can already discover the next one.
4. Magnificent soloist
Hardly any other shrub is available in as many varieties and a wide range of colors as the hibiscus. If it has room to spread, it develops into a compact shrub.
5. The star in the group
The garden marshmallow gets along well with neighboring plants. If several hibiscuses are planted next to each other, the bushes will outdo each other with their blooms. In a group of different shrubs, however, it is the star in summer.
6. Attractive eye-catcher right next to the seat
In summer, the seat next to the hibiscus could become your favorite place. The flowers don't just attract attention with their bright colors. Numerous filled and unfilled variants with their spectacular pistils want to be admired again and again. And who can resist the up to 30 cm large flowers of the Hibiscus moscheutus.
7. Cut-friendly flower band
A hibiscus hedge is not just a barrier to neighbors. The countless colorful flowers create a veritable band of flowers from July to September. Different colored bushes add more variety to the color game.
8. Blooming room divider
With a flowering wall made up of several hibiscus bushes, you can create cozy garden spaces that are rich in flowers in summer and protect from wind and prying eyes and provide a clear view in winter. The space is used well, especially in small gardens, as the hibiscus blooms relatively late and exactly when many flowers have already faded.
9. Privacy protection in summer
A privacy screen is often only needed during the summer. Then the Hibiscus syriacus with its dense foliage and magnificent flowers is a good choice.
10. An easy-care garden resident
Lots of sun, a sheltered place, enough water and a few nutrients - these are simple ingredients for the easy-care shrub to thrive.
