Angel Eyes Hibiscus
Hibiscus syriacus 'Angel Eyes'Angel Eyes Hibiscus is a deciduous flowering shrub that produces an abundance of crisp white blooms accented by vivid red centers from midsummer through early fall. The large, single flowers stand out against bright green foliage, creating a fresh, elegant display during the hottest months of the year. An upright, vase-shaped habit gives the shrub a graceful appearance while providing reliable color when many other landscape plants have finished blooming. The clean foliage remains attractive throughout the growing season, adding texture and structure to the garden.
Reaching approximately 8 to 10 feet tall with a spread of 4 to 6 feet, Angel Eyes Hibiscus adds height and seasonal interest to a variety of landscape settings. Its upright growth makes it an excellent choice for flowering hedges, privacy screens, foundation plantings, and mixed shrub borders. It also performs beautifully as a specimen, where the striking flowers become a focal point. The long bloom season provides continuous color from summer into fall.
Angel Eyes Hibiscus grows best in full sun and well-drained soil. It adapts well to clay, loam, and sandy soils and tolerates heat, humidity, and periods of drought after establishment. Water regularly during the first growing season to establish a strong root system, then provide supplemental irrigation during prolonged dry weather. Apply a balanced fertilizer in early spring, and prune in late winter or early spring before new growth begins to maintain shape and encourage abundant flowering.
