Rose of Sharon Lil' Kim® Red, Shrub Althea Lil' Kim® Red, Hibiscus Lil' Kim® Red, Hibiscus syriacus 'SHIMRR38' PP27195
Noted for its miniature size, Hibiscus syriacus Lil’ Kim® Red (Rose of Sharon) is a compact, vase-shaped, deciduous shrub of elegant habit with a profusion of showy, rich rosy-red flowers, 3 in. across (7 cm), adorned with a dark red throat. Blooming continuously from summer to fall, each flower lasts for three days instead of one day like other Rose of Sharon. They decorate the bush until late in the season, a valuable attribute in most gardens. The foliage of broadly ovate, shiny leaves appears in late spring, pale yellow-green at first, becoming dark green. This dwarf Hibiscus is perfect for sunny borders, containers and small gardens.
