Plant description
Bring lasting purity to late-season gardens with Hibiscus syriacus French Cabaret White, a robust shrubby hollyhock covered in large, double white pom-pom flowers from July through to October. The sterile blooms channel all the plant’s energy into flowering, delivering weeks of clean, elegant colour without the worry of self-seeding.
Naturally upright and well branched, it suits flowering hedges, statement planting, or large containers, fitting beautifully into cottage-style or mixed borders. Fresh green, deeply lobed leaves set off the crisp white flowers and soften to gentle yellow shades in autumn, extending seasonal interest.
Hardy and easy to grow, this shrub prefers full sun and well-drained soil, coping well with dry or chalky conditions once established. Ongoing care is minimal, with just light pruning needed to maintain its shape and keep the flowers coming.

How to care for Hibiscus syriacus French Cabaret® White ('Mindoub1') (PBR):
Plant in a sheltered, sunny location with moist, fertile soil. While they can tolerate some dryness, consistent moisture will encourage lush growth and abundant blooms.
If growing them in large containers, protect the roots from harsh winter conditions by wrapping pots and plants using horticultural fleece or move to a sheltered spot such as a southerly facing wall.
Mulch the base of border plants with a dry material like bark chips to insulate the roots and prevent frost damage. Regularly remove spent blooms to prolong flowering.
Pruning should be done in late winter or early spring, before new growth emerges. Prune back to strong, healthy buds to encourage new growth and shape the plant. Removing old and damaged wood will also help to improve air circulation and reduce the risk of disease.

Please note:
This shrub is deciduous so it will lose all its leaves in autumn, then fresh new foliage appears again each spring.
