Orchid Satin Rose of Sharon

Hibiscus syriacus

A bushy, gracefully shaped deciduous shrub with a graceful habit that is well-known for its extraordinarily enormous, orchid-pink solitary flowers that have a conspicuous red eye. Every single blossom, which lasts for approximately a day and contrasts with the widely oval leaves' green foliage, blooms consistently from midsummer until fall. A structural shrub of great utility for the rear of the border.
