The Hibiscus syriacus 'Pink Giant', commonly known as the 'Pink Giant' Rose of Sharon, is a deciduous shrub renowned for its large, eye-catching pink blooms. These flowers boast a delicate, trumpet-like shape and can reach up to 10-12 cm in diameter, often adorned with a deep red centre that adds a striking contrast. Flowering typically occurs from mid-summer to early autumn, providing a prolonged period of colour and visual interest in the garden. The 'Pink Giant' not only enhances the aesthetic appeal but also attracts pollinators such as bees and butterflies, contributing to the ecological health of the area.

At maturity, the 'Pink Giant' can reach a height of 2.5 to 3.5 meters with a similar spread, forming a substantial and impressive presence. Its growth habit is upright and vase-shaped, with sturdy branches that support the profusion of blooms. The foliage consists of dark green, lobed leaves, which add a lush backdrop to the vibrant flowers. This hibiscus variety is relatively hardy and can tolerate a range of environmental conditions, making it a versatile choice for various landscape designs.

The 'Pink Giant' thrives best in well-drained, moderately fertile soil but can adapt to different soil types, including clay, loam, and sandy soils. It prefers full sun to partial shade, with optimal flowering occurring in sunny locations. Regular watering is important, especially during dry periods, to maintain the health and vigor of the plant. Additionally, it is advisable to prune the shrub in late winter or early spring to encourage new growth and enhance the overall shape. With its stunning blooms and robust growth, the 'Pink Giant' is an excellent addition to any garden or landscape, offering both beauty and resilience.
