Free flowering, Hibiscus syriacus ‘Marina’ (Rose of Sharon), often sold as ‘Blue Satin’, is a dense and bushy deciduous shrub noted for its abundant violet blue flowers resembling hollyhock blossoms. Blooming continuously from midsummer to fall, the large deep royal blue to violet-blue flowers, 4 in. across (10 cm), are adorned with dark reddish-purple throats and conspicuous, protruding, creamy-white tubes of stamens. Each flower lasts about one day, but the plant blooms continuously and heavily until late in the season. The foliage of broadly ovate, three-lobed leaves is dark green. A very useful, structural shrub for the back of the border.
