  • Description

  • Notes

'Blushing Bride' is a deciduous hibiscus, growing with an upright habit to about 10 feet tall and 6 feet wide. It has rich green leaves that are deeply lobed, with a yellow fall color. Flowers appear mid to late summer and are double and a rich pink. Interesting lantern-like seed pods appear after spent flowers. Excellent addition to a shrub border, partnered with forsythia, spirea, lilacs, and buddleia to create a long season of color. A classic cottage-garden shrub.
